This may be a bit off-topic but I am wondering, which college town has the most bars per capita? Not that it would solely influence my decision but it would be nice to know the social scene of these towns. Thanks!
The title for the college town with the most bars per capita often fluctuates between a few different places, but consistently, one town that tends to rise to the top on many lists is Madison, Wisconsin, which is home to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Its downtown area and State Street are famous for a densely packed array of bars, restaurants, and other nightlife activities, all within walking distance of the university.
Another college town known for its bar density is Oxford, Ohio, the home of Miami University. Uptown Oxford, as it's often referred to, houses a substantial number of bars and eateries on a relatively small stretch.
Keep in mind, though, that a high number of bars doesn't necessarily equate to a lively social scene or the perfect fit for everyone. Some student bodies might be more into art scene, outdoor activities, or club events. So while this could be one way to gauge the social opportunities of a town, take into account the overall vibe and culture when considering the social scene.
