2 Florida College Towns Amongst Top 25 In The U.S.
When it comes to choosing a place to continue education, a lot goes in to the decision. Of course, academics, but entertainment and surroundings are probably also of pretty high importance for most.
If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times. Living in Florida cannot be beat. The beaches, the nightlife (depending on where you are), the weather, the food…we’ve got it all! We live where most people vacation.
The folks over at Travel + Leisure recently released their list of the 25 Best College Towns and Cities in the U.S. Their definition of a college town is a place where the community is usually influenced by one of more schools. Not only have an affect on the population, skewing on the younger end, but the culture and social life of the town, especially with a location with a bunch of football fans. College football fans are passionate people, to say the least.
On this list of the best college towns and cities, are two Florida College Towns. Which towns are they? I think you can probably guess.
Tallahassee, the home of the Florida State University Seminoles and the Florida A&M Rattlers and Gainesville, the home of the University of Florida Gators.
And if you’re from Florida, you definitely have a preference when it comes to these two Florida college towns. You either chop or you chomp!

List of Top 50 Party Schools in U.S.
44. College of Charleston
The Cistern at the College of Charleston
Charleston is a great town. It definitely has parts of it that feel like you’re in a small college town. But it also has parts that have the southern charm of a small town. Great food, great music, and great drinks.

Great weather, great college town, and a historically great athletic department (although it might be down right now).

Cincinnati is a big metro area, so I knew there would be plenty of bars and restaurants. But the students at UC know how to party with the best of them.
36. University of Kansas

This was the scene after Kansas won the basketball national championship in 2022. Any student base that can create a scene like this has to know a thing or two about partying at an elite level.
35. James Madison University

JMU has been on the party scene for years. The campus is less than 100 miles from Washington DC, but still remote enough to have the college town feel.
24. Rutgers University- New Brunswick

Any student section that shows up in these numbers to support a well below average athletic department knows what they’re doing. Also being in New Jersey, they need to lift their spirits somehow.
