The top 25 best college towns in America

You thought the “Manziel Measure” was done with. You thought wrong.
Despite being a star as Texas A&M, Manziel still lowkey wanted to be a Longhorn, and tried to get into fraternity parties at the University of Texas in Austin. Manziel goes where he believes fun will be (even if that’s Las Vegas the night before Cleveland Browns’ gameday).
Man, a real low blow, Johnny. Anyways, he was kicked out and I guess that gives him a bad reputation at both schools now.
Outside of the “Manziel Measure,” Austin offers a lot, from the music festivals in this slide’s feature image, as well as Zilker Park, The Drag, 6th Street, the Congressional Mall and Lady Bird Lake. In a way, Austin is like its own little oasis in the state of Texas, its motto being “Keep Austin Weird.”

"UT is the best school because it’s in Austin, Texas. You’re never bored, as there are thousands of groups available to join, numerous good restaurants, and fun nature spots. UT is the school for any type of person – with so many groups you can get involved in, every person can find their place."
