Best college towns in America: Ann Arbor, Michigan (Home of University of Michigan)

Ann Arbor just feels like the quintessential college town. Everyone who lives in Ann Arbor went to the University of Michigan. The town is basically painted in Maize and Blue. Gameday basically shuts down the whole city. This is what happens when the university accounts for 30,000 employees.

The tailgates outside the Big House are legendary. One of the best tailgating spots is right on a golf course. The UM Golf Course holds a tailgate every weekend, but that’s just one of the amenities. Any tailgate you go to will have bundled-up Michigan fans who are ready to celebrate the team.

Ann Arbor boasts a ton of restaurants. bars, and a bustling nightlife scene. Krazy Jim’s Blimpy Burger is something everyone has to try once. It’s a build-your-own burger joint that everyone on campus knows. The city is often named one of the best places to live in the country, and that brings a lot of things to do for everyone else. There are people moving here and bringing their businesses to the city in southern Michigan.

There are other non-football attractions to love about Ann Arbor. There’s the Hands-On Museum where you not only can touch everything but you are encouraged to. Kerrytown brings a farmer’s market and artisan shops.
