The Boston Globe article, "College towns are catalogues of fun things to do," encourages college students to explore the "rich" culture that a college town can offer without having to spend the big bucks. The article uses a few selected colleges and universities and discusses what unique attractions can be found at each one.
Globe Correspondent, Hilary Nangle, does a fine job of finding appealing acitivites in the surrounding areas. Everything from museums, performing art centers, chic cafes and galleries are included as promising suggestions for a good time. The article includes both on and off campus options and gives prices (if any) for fun activities.
If I could adjust the article, I would simply add more colleges to the list. I would include more of the well-known or larger colleges that reader's could possibly relate to better. I like how Nangle included both on and off campus activities. Not all students have cars and tranportation does not come easy to all. Having these on-campus options included really adds appeal. Nangle's ideas are sure to please any college student and leave their pockets a little fuller.
Nice thoroughly well written blog post. The "College towns are catalogues of fun things to do" looks very interesting.
