The city that houses the University of Texas Longhorns received high marks this month in the list of 2020’s best college towns in the United States. WalletHub ranked out the best college towns and cities in America, and Austin, TX, topped the list.
The way that WalletHub factored this list was based around three different categories. First and foremost, the “Wallet Friendliness Ranking” took into account the cost of living. Austin didn’t receive the highest marks for that, since the cost of living in the Texas capitol is pretty high. And the cost of living is ever-growing with the constant explosion of this sprawling city.
