Best college town in every state

Best college towns in America: Oxford, Ohio (Home of Miami University (of Ohio)

Oxford has been named on the “top” lists for many things, including top places to live and top places to find love. That’s not expected from a city that isn’t necessarily known throughout the country. Most people know this as the “other” Miami University or the place that started Ben Roethlisberger’s career. There’s so much more to this town than that.

Walking through campus during football season, and it’s the best of Ohio Autumns. There are walking tours to sign up for to find the best-hidden gems of the university. Many of the buildings used yellow bricks with forest green shutters, giving it a unique uniform look. Usually, campus buildings try to be different, but here in Oxford, it’s good to be like everyone else.

The museums are abundant, which is surprising for a small town like this. There’s the Miami Art Museum, the William Holmes McGuffey Museum, the Museum of Natural History, and the Geology Museum. It gives everyone a little different experience with each learning experience.

There are plenty of parks and walking areas across Oxford. One of which is the Black Covered Bridge, which was built in the 1860s and is still standing tall today. You can also go fossil hunting at Hueston Woods State Park. It’s one thing to see fossils at a museum, but finding them yourself is another experience.
