I went to OU, therefore I'm contractually obligated to refer to Miami people as preppy dooshes. Just like they are contractually obligated to refer to me as a burn-out pothead hippy.

If it were college "cities", OSU would be #1, and we can all agree on that.

How so? If you were just passing through town and didn't know anything about it, there are only 8 days a year where you can even tell the university exists. Columbus is a great city, but outside of the 8 home games, the university does not really add to anything already going on.

btw, other than this post, the only other time I can recall making this comment was when I was referring to you, since it's common knowledge (or should be) that you were waitlisted there--just sayin'

You're telling me I'm obsessed with you, and then you "know" that I was waitlisted at Miami? LOL

By the way, I wasn't waitlisted at Miami. I was just straight up denied lol

Since when is voicing an honest opinion being a whatever you called me?? Oh yea...whenever anyone doesn't agree with you.

In fact, I do know what you mean. I paid for each and every cent of my degree. Bought my own car, paid for books, tuition, etc. Worked a job each and every day I was in college...sometimes 2 jobs.

So yea, I know what you mean.

This is not a very good list. There are some obvious choices (Austin, Madison, Athens), but it just seems like the author found some cool pictures, read the wikipedia page, and then made a list.
