Boulder Named #5 On List Of Top 10 College Towns You’ll Never Want To Leave. Yeah, we could have guessed!

boulder_flatirons

Boulder just got the distinction of being named #5 on College Magazine’s list of the Top 10 College Towns You’ll Never Want To Leave. We know it, but it’s nice to get the reassurance! Thanks, College Magazine.

Here is what http://www.collegemagazine.com says, “Great college towns offer much more than blackout Friday nights. They provide perfect settings for game days, gorgeous (and walkable) natural scenery, awesome art cultures and traditions you won’t find anywhere else. When a college acts as a beacon of light for a town, call it poetic. When town and college embrace one another, call it harmony. These college towns wear such characteristics in spades.”
