Fayetteville has been weighed and measured and found to be one of the best college cities in the US. 

• Another list: WalletHub compared over 400 US cities of numerous sizes and ranked them based on academic, social, and economic opportunities for students. Fayetteville ranked #20 overall, its "wallet friendliness" being a driving factor in its placement.
• The place to be: Being a top ranked college city as well as the 4th best place to live in the US says a lot about the culture of Fayetteville. With its arts and entertainment, sports, outdoor recreation and connectivity to surrounding areas, we must agree it’s a pretty great place.
