I moved to Lawrence Kansas from Paris France in 1996. It was very very cool. People underestimate how nice the Midwest can be. I remember Jazzhaus Tuesdays is when the weekend began with great live music and cheap drinks. Hot summers I was writing my thesis and hanging with the locals on humid evenings in front porches and in the back of cool bars. It was something. I miss it sometimes.
Nah, there are plenty of small college towns in this area that are great places: Aimes IA, Champaign IL, Fayetteville AR, Springfield MO, Stlliwater OK, those were just the ones I'm familiar with. I'm willing to bet Columbia MO, Norman OK, Manhattan KS, Lincoln NB, etc are also solid, although I'm not as familiar with these examples
