Every year Money Magazine publishes its top 100 small cities based on factors like clean air, safety, quality schools and auto insurance premiums. Unfortunately, none of this makes a college town great! Give me a keg and some good football; then it will be a top college city.

In case you're looking to start college in the same place you raise your kids, here is OTR's top 5 small college cities from Money's list of 100 top cities:

1. (27) Ann Arbor, MI
Considered one of the country's greenest and cleanest cities movement, Ann Arbor doesn't look anything but blue and maize to us! With the 40,000 college students and an average age under 30 years, this top college town promises to keep you up all night. Plus, with a marriage rate under 40%, far below the top cities average of 57.5%, you might be getting approached by more Cougars than Wolverines!

2. (47) Scottsdale, AZ
It gets hot in the desert and our #2 pick for top college towns does NOT disappoint! Nearby top party school ASU, Scottsdale boasts above average numbers of 'Leisure and Culture' destinations, except (big surprise) when it comes to libraries and museums. As Scottsdale is home to the (yawn) best attended golf event in the country, it shouldn't be too hard to hit a hole in one next Friday night!

3. (78) Coral Springs, FL
A short drive away from the University of Miami and in the same homestate as headline colleges UF and FSU, Coral Springs puts you in the heart of Florida fun in the sun. But be careful; Al Gore might be following you. Why, you ask? Take a deep breath first. It's OK---Coral Springs tops the air index and for once the air in this small college city might be worth taking in.

4. (65) Chapel Hill, NC
Home to the nation's oldest public university, this small American city landed #65 on Money's list. Chapel Hill lures some of the nation's brightest, and craziest,every year with its quaint and charming Southern touch.

5. (35) Edison, NJ
Rounding out our top 5 picks of Money's top 100 cities, Edison, NJ is home to the proud students at Rutgers University (and those other Jersey schools...). Edison gives college students a short commute to local schools with a suburban feel for anyone afraid of leaving home. Fortunately NYC and Philly are a short train ride away for those not strong enough to survive in Jersey.
