Sorry, Troy sucks.

It is very telling, Kenny, that you attack Odysseus personally rather than refute his argument. Whether or not he has a chip on his shoulder, could it be that he is right about Troy?
I came from New Mexico to do a degree at Troy some years ago, and I was there again while travelling to Florida recently, and I'm afraid I agree with Odysseus 100%. Clean air and smiling people do not a good place make. There is precious little to do or see in Troy, and nothing that can't be seen, done, or eaten better elsewhere. I still can't understand what made someone decide to put a university in such a nothing town, and why having a university there hasn't done anything to improve the place. And the university itself is mediocre at best, as any university rankings list will tell you. A look at the crumbling town square will tell you where things are at in Troy. Any town where the thing to do on a Saturday night is to dress up and go to Wal-mart needs help.
Sorry, Kenny; I gotta go with Odysseus on this one (clever nickname, too, btw: the sacking of Troy, ha!). Troy is a hole among holes. Save yourself the disappointment and get on to either Montgomery or Dothan.
