Best college town in every state

Best college towns in America: Stillwater, Oklahoma (Home of Oklahoma State University)

Surprised this isn’t Norman? Well, that city is a little too into Oklahoma football, while Stillwater is a lot more welcoming to tourists who want to find just about everything on campus. Also, Norman doesn’t allow you to cuddle a baby kangaroo. You can do that at the Lost Creek Safari in Stillwater.

Oklahoma State football is still a budding event, so it doesn’t have the tailgating atmosphere like other huge schools do, however, they are making up for the lost time. There are people redoing busses to paint them in Cowboys’ colors. It’s still a very fun atmosphere now that the team is finally winning on a consistent basis.

The Iron Monk Brewery is considered the top brewery in the area, with a taproom that offers small-batch beers that can’t be found anywhere else. There are also constant food trucks outside the brewery to bring a taste of Oklahoma to anyone enjoying a brew.

The National Wrestling Hall of Fame is right on campus, showcasing some of the greats to ever hit the mat. It celebrates some of the greatest wrestlers ever, but the most interesting exhibit is celebrating the greatest Americans who were once wrestlers. It includes Joshua Harris, the owner of the 76ers and Devils, former U.S. Presidents William Taft, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt, and actor Kirk Douglas. It shows the eclectic range of people who once called wrestling their sport of passion.
