An anti-vote for Amherst, Massachusetts. I don't actually have anything against the town or the colleges there but I have some snobbish relatives there I don't get along with to well...
I have to join you with the anti-vote for Amherst.
I don't see how the number of colleges makes a place good. Don't judge a place by the number of colleges, but by the city itself or the college(s) itself.
Atlanta...Georgia Tech, Emory, Georgia State, West Georgia, Morehouse, Oglethorpe, Agnes Scott, Spelman, etc. - NOT commuter schools.
Chicago...Northwestern, University of Chicago, University of Illinois Chicago, Depaul, Loyola University, etc. - NOT commuter schools.
I didn't say all, I said some like in Atlanta ,GSU is considered a commuter school. Meaning not many people live on campus or have school pride, especially compared to UT.
Oneonta, NY has SUNY-Oneonta and private Hartwick College and is another good choice. Potsdam and Canton in Northern NY are next to each other and have 4 colleges between them(SUNY Canton, SUNY Potsdam, Clarkson and St. Lawrence).

To quote you..."Also, the colleges in those cities are mainly commuter schools unlike UT." That is definitely untrue.
You are very far behind...GSU is no longer a commuter school with the construction of housing for 6,000 students on campus and several other smaller residential buildings. As a graduate of GSU and a long time resident of Atlanta, I'm pretty sure I'm well-informed on this subject. You, on the other hand, are not.
There is an abundance of campus life in Atlanta...don't try to say there isn't please.

Exactly. When you have Georgia Tech and four other HBCU's, why not mention Atlanta as a college town than if you do the same for Austin? Both "cities" are about the same size. None of those colleges I just named are commuter schools. And about GSU, the old olympic village is used for dorms. I'd say they have improved much since than.
All that stuff your talking about is in the suburbs. Yeah Film and Technology is big in Austin, but it still dosen't erase that fact that Austin is a BIG college town trying to become a city. In Waco, we have Baylor, but Waco isn't based around Baylor and many people who live there don't care for it like people do in Austin toward UT. .
Oh come on. Waco is more based around Baylor than Austin is around UT. Austin is a much bigger city than Waco and has a much larger and much more diverse economy than Waco. Austin is very much a city. Waco is not on the level of that city in any way.
