If you can't find something to do there, you need some help.<BR/><BR/>That said, from your description, it sounds like the students may have been asked to rate only the goings-on in their immediate city/town.Harlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535679308488914527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980672.post-18467379197810758392008-08-18T11:50:00.000-04:002008-08-18T11:50:00.000-04:00Oh, sure, but if you allow duplicates in your figu...Oh, sure, but if you allow duplicates in your figuring then it's no longer the "worst 20 college towns" but rather the "20 most location-disatisfied student bodies".<BR/><BR/>I maintain that the entries in the former are more interesting than the latter.

Clearly the students at Clark U. are a little more accepting of Worcester's offerings than the students at the College of the Holy Cross.
