Columbus is probaly one, if not, the most vibrant college city in the Midwest. The only one I can think of that competes is Madison, but Madison is a much smaller city. The Ohio State University is the largest college in the country. Columbus is a young, prosperous, growing city.

Cincinnati is home to the University of Cincinnati, and this campus was voted the most modern urban college in the country. It is close to bustling downtown Cincy, and University of Cincinnati is the best college for architecture and urban planning.

Cleveland is home to Case Western, Baldwin Wallace, and Cleveland State. All within a short drive of one of America's fastest growing downtowns. Plus, Cleveland is home to the only Nat'l Park in a metro area of over 3 million.

Most of the colleges you listed are in the South, not the Midwest. tennessee? Georgia? Louisana? North Carolina? WAke Forest? Greensboro? These are Southern. Creighton and Saint Louis University are the only Midwestern universities on this list.

Another Midwestern college city think that is great is Columbia, Missouri, home to University of Missouri, or Mizzou. It's not that big however hehe.

Mizzou's a great school, and Columbia's a great town.

One of the girls from my school is in college at Rolla.

Yea, Mizzou-Rolla is a pretty decent school too, especially for engineering.

University of Denver has English and Phsychology, plus whatever else you'd be interested in. The campus is about 5 minutes from Downtown Denver and 10 minutes from the south suburbs and Park Meadows Plaza. Every Friday the ski club takes the tram to Winter Park, so you could get into skiing.

People in Denver are very friendly and Denver gets more annual sunshine than Southern California. There is a lot of outdoor activity, shopping, restaurants, music venues, and nightlife is AMAZING! The University of Denver is a really exceptional school too.

In another post, he said he was looking at the south too. I wouldn't have posted them if he wasn't interested.

That said, MichaelinMaryland, I actually wouldn't recommend Washington state. If you're looking for super-warm-and-friendly, you're not going to find that in the Pacific Northwest. People in the region tend to be more aloof and reserved. It's a great area, but the south and parts of the midwest would be better fits for you.

I'd highly recommend Pittsburgh. Pitt is a great school and there is also Duquesne, Point Park, CMU, the Art Institute and more.


It's such a friendly city. Everyone is nice there. Lots of natural beauty too. I love it!
