Great College towns
Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2004 10:23 am
Looks like MSU and SDSU have something else in common besides being State Universities, we are both in Great College towns. Bozeman ranks #2 in small cities and Brookings ranks #3 in towns. They do a nice job of breaking down the facts, although the SDSU enrollment number is way off. SDSU currently has 10,500 + students.

GREAT COLLEGE TOWNS
In our view, great college towns have a spark that comes not only from young blood, but from jazz clubs, literary events, book stores and cafes. They are intellectual, cultural and economic hubs, balancing tradition with new business growth. Often, they mix urban amenities and small-town charm.
