Cedar City, Provo, Logan Ranks Among Top College Towns In America

suu.edu

Researchers have come out with a new ranking of the 50 best college towns in America and collegerank.net says three Utah cities belong on the list.

The analysis leaves out large urban metropolitan cities, ranking only towns with a population of 200,000 or less. Logan hits the list at number 35. Provo is at 28 and Cedar City is number 20.

“We’re just so lucky to be in such a wonderful place where our students can have these great opportunities especially near the National Parks and all the outdoors,” said Tommy Gugino from Southern Utah University Marketing. “But also to be in a town where the community is so welcoming and so open to the students.”

San Luis Obispo, California is ranked the top college town in America.
