The American Institute of Economic Research ranks the best cities and towns in which to attend college, using academic achievement, quality of life, and professional opportunities as factors.

Ithaca, New York tops the list for top college towns under 250,000, and San Francisco is tops for major metropolitan areas.

Kerry Lynch, a senior fellow at the Institute, is quoted by USA Today about the importance of location in college choice:
