Although the Ann Arbor News conveniently leaves it out, you may be wondering: “How did Ann Arbor fare in the rankings of ‘great college towns’?” Answer: they didn’t make the top 20. Which were: 1 New York University, 2 Tulane University, 3 Georgetown University, 4 DePaul University, 5 University of Miami, 6 American University, 7 Boston University, 8 Columbia University, Columbia College, 9 McGill University, 10 The George Washington University, 11 University of San Francisco, 12 Cooper Union, 13 Boston College, 14 The University of Texas at Austin, 15 Southern Methodist University, 16 Barnard College, 17 University of Wisconsin-Madison, 18 Harvard College, 19 Indiana University – Bloomington, 20 Simmons College.

Michigan also didn’t make the top 20 list for “great college newspaper,” but for most people that goes without saying. Check back on this site the first week of September for a bit more than my $.02 about why that is.
