Best college town in every state

Best college towns in America: Morgantown, West Virginia (Home of West Virginia University)

Morgantown, West Virginia is just amazing. The city lies within the Appalachian Mountain trail, and it has a campus that is more prideful in its university than almost any college in the country. The Flying WV is seen across campus, and blue and gold seem to cover every inch of this town. It still has some of the roots from the coal miners that came before the students of today, but it has some newness that one might not expect from West Virginia.

Milan Puskar Stadium and its pregame tailgate are an experience every college football fan has to do at least once. It’s the one stadium that players actually say can change the outcome of a game. It feels more like a European soccer stadium than anything.

The rest of Morgantown is a ton of fun. West Virginia’s stadium is gorgeous, especially during the fall when the leaves are changing. Walking up to the Mountainlair on gameday shows the excitement. The only thing wrong with WVU is the fact that the stadium is on the “other” campus, so transportation is a little bit of a problem.

The bar scene is famous. Fat Daddy’s, Joe Mama’s, Bent Willy’s, and Mario’s Fishbowl are known nationwide. High Street is always going crazy on a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. It can be a little over the top, so maybe stick to the mountains if fans are looking for a simple weekend away.
