Best college town in every state

Best college towns in America: Boulder, Colorado (Home of University of Colorado)

It wouldn’t be a true Colorado campus without mountains surrounding students, but the University of Colorado takes it one step further. The woods also surround the campus, giving this one of the best aesthetics of any university in the country. No matter how stressed finals or midterms have students, the calming nature of the campus helps ease those feelings.

Pearl Street is considered the heart and soul of this city. All the storefronts come with a historic feel, and the colors in this neighborhood give it a vibrant style that’s hard to ignore. Besides the great shopping, Pearl Street provides, on the day before every home game, Colorado fans storm down the street in what’s called the “Pearl Street Stampedes”. Pearl Street is even better during Christmas time when they have multiple events to celebrate the holidays.

Hiking the Flatirons is a must for anyone visiting Boulder. Chautauqua is a local park that really brings out the beauty in this mountain range. There’s also a great dining hall here, so it’s a great place if you want to spend the whole day in one place.

If you have time to take a trip, the Red Rock Amphitheater is one of the most underrated attractions in America. It’s literally as if someone built a concert hall with a chisel and used the side of a mountain.
