Yep – Columbia Missouri is definitely a great college town!  And “College Rank”. net agrees! Check out their rankings. They describe Columbia as having a small town feel, but with plenty to do.  Columbia is my third college town … having lived in State College PA (“we are Penn State”), and Lawrence KS.  All three have great charm – but very glad to be settled here with Truman the Tiger and my great colleagues at the iSchool at Mizzou, School of Information Science and Learning Technologies.
