Many different factors go into which college towns reign supreme.
Boulder, Colorado, for example, is an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts , as you can either hit the ski slopes or take a hike.
There are no wrong choices. No matter where you go, you can find a unique experience that will entertain you before, during or after a game.
But again, there are many factors to consider when picking your next destination. Do you like small towns or big cities? Are you looking for nightlife activities or are you traveling with kids? Do you prefer warm or cold weather? And, of course, which types of food do you love?
You’ll get a good grasp of my preferences below as I rank each Big 12 college town from worst to first:
