COLLEGE STATION, Sept. 10, 2010 -The American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) 2010-2011 College Destinations Index lists College Station as one of the nation’s top 12 “college towns.”
AIER’s new book-style index cites what its editors call “the 75 best cities for college students” and includes categories for major metros, mid-size metros and small cities, in addition to college towns.
The index rates cities on the basis of three broad categories: academic environment, quality of life and professional opportunity.
Texas A&M and the University of Texas at Austin are the only Texas institutions included in the index, with UT covered in the list for mid-size metros.
