Oxford, Auburn/Opelika, & Starkville are all pretty much the same town. Tuscaloosa, Gainesville, Columbia, Fayetteville area all bigger, but essentially the same as Starkville with a Target. Knoxville, Baton Rouge, Columbia MO, aren't really college towns. And while Athens gets a lot of attention and love - other than the music scene - there is nothing there but traffic congestion. And the music scene isn't what it was - not near as many venues as it was 20-30 years ago and the music is much more cover oriented. And in all those towns, half of campus or more goes home every non-football weekend (just like Starkville). So what's missing? A theme park? Casinos? I'm having a hard time understanding what I'm missing.
This. As you just said pretty much every college town in the South is pretty much the same, with some being bigger and some being smaller but very similar. Also some of these college towns the cities around them are just dumps.
