Review of Bloomington, Indiana


A top notch college town
Star Rating - 9/23/2005
I have lived in Fort Collins, CO and Madison, WI- two great college towns that actually get credit as such. I currently live in Bloomington, IN and I have to say that Bloomington is an amazing college town. Although you rarely see it at the top of the 'best' lists of various magazines, Bloomington has a great mix of cultural offerings, college town style, affordability, and midwest charm that is hard to match. It's probably good that Bloomington has kept a low profile, as it would likely get overrun as so many of the other great college towns have.
