[QUOTE="Bbuck21, post: 1804063, member: 748813"] I have been to quite a few. Not Maryland nor Rutgers. From a campus/campus town/sports arenas/environment I put them in categories. OSU, MN, NW, and even WI and Nebraska are part of a too big of a city/town to have have their own character. MSU/East Lansing and PU/West Lafayette were not worth revisiting (yuck!). IU's campus is gorgeous, but not integrated with town. UM/Ann Arbor checks a lot of boxes. That leaves IA/Iowa City, PSU/State College, and UI/Chambana. These 3 I put in the same category. I don't think Iowa has a beautiful campus, but it has an integrated fun campus town and residential area. PSU/State College has everything you would want in a campus and college town. UIUC had it all. Beautiful campus. No other quad comparable to this and a fun integrated campus town. Urbana is a wonderful college town (Champaign, not so much). NOW, campus town sucks. The entire environment has changed for the worse. Sorry to say, but I have no reason to go back to UIUC again except to watch a FB or BB game and then quickly leave. [/QUOTE]
