The Best College Town In America Is Right Here In Montana

What an exciting time in life, that time when you have to decide what college or university to attend.

Keep in mind, I wasn't a great student, so there was no one really pushing to land me, but I did have a few friends that had the red carpet rolled out for them.

I'm not sure how they do it these days, back then it was all snail mail. You would get fancy brochures telling you why this college or university was the best. There were tests you had to take, it was big deal.

In the end, I went to my local college for a semester and then quit. I told my Dad I was wanted to be on the radio, and I was just wasting his money.

Apparently, there is a lot of choices to make when you're picking a school. The academics, the social scene, Greek life, clubs, sports, the town, all of it. You want to make sure you get a great education AND that you have the "college" experience.

Well, it just so happens that you can find all of that right here in Montana.

Which Montana college town is the best?

I've lived in a lot of college towns in my day, but according to one source, the best college town in the country is Bozeman Montana. Yep, you read that right. Bozeman. Rent Cafe has named Bozeman, Montana the best college town in America for the third year in a row.

So, what makes Bozeman so great?

• Graduation Rate

• Tuition and Fees

• Population with higher education

• Arts and Entertainment

• Cost of living

I know, I laughed at the last one too, but the rest of the list is legit. MSU is a great school, they're the home of National Champions, a growing campus, and for the last few years have set records for record enrollment.
