Most walkable college towns?

I'm pretty eco-conscious and I really enjoy walking, so I'm thinking the walkability of a college town could be a big factor for me. Any suggestions on which college towns are rated as the most walkable? Thanks for any advice!

Many students find the walkability of a college town crucial for day-to-day life and would prioritize it when looking at potential colleges. Here are a few places that consistently have high walkability ratings:

1. Cambridge, MA - Home to Harvard and MIT, Cambridge is one of the most pedestrian-friendly cities in the United States. You can reach almost all university facilities, shops, restaurants, and cultural hubs on foot.

2. Berkeley, CA - As the home of UC Berkeley, this city is built around the university and has ample walking paths, making it easy to get around without a car.

3. Charlottesville, VA - The home of the University of Virginia. The main streets of Charlottesville are lined with eateries, shops, music venues, and coffee houses, all within walking distance from campus.

4. Boulder, CO - Known for its commitment to environmental sustainability, the University of Colorado Boulder is surrounded by a city that is easily traversable by foot.

5. Madison, WI - The University of Wisconsin is in a city filled with walkable areas, especially around the State Capitol and State Street which has dozens of shops and restaurants.

6. Santa Cruz, CA - The University of California, Santa Cruz, is located in a walkable city with many trails and paths throughout the nearby Redwood forests in addition to the city itself.

Keep in mind the individual campuses and their layouts. Even within highly walkable towns, some campuses can be spread out, leading to longer walking distances.
