With prime access to some of the country's best bars and restaurants, New York University is America's college with the best location, according to a new list from the academic-review site Niche.com.
The rankings are calculated using a number of factors including median rent; access to bars, restaurants, cafes, and outdoor activities; local weather; and percentage of residents age 18-24.
Business Insider used Niche's state filter to find out which college has the best location in each US state and the District of Columbia. Niche reports that a few states (Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, and Wyoming) are missing from the ranking because they don't have data for enough colleges.
