6. Syracuse, NY

As Joakim Noah would say, “Who ever says they want to go on vacation to” Syracuse? Nobody, really. It’s cold, and there’s not a lot of tourist value in New York outside of the city. However, Syracuse University offers a lot to its students. A top-notch school with high-level athletics, a beautiful campus and the best party scene in America.

Plus, Otto the Orange is easily the best mascot in college sports. How can anyone in living there not fall in love with him?
