Thanks for such a well written article. I was planning to just take a quick look since I am packing for a move but stayed for the entire article. Keep us older young people aware of how to enjoy life because this is our first and only time to experience it.

Number One reason to retire in a College town:

A steady supply of young college girls eager to get help with their tuition, hahaha.

Carbondale, IL:

gorgeous old campus - SIU, thriving artistic community, thriving community of writers and filmmakers, Shawnee National Forest and State parks with incredible rock formations and hiking, great fishing, the Southern Illinois Wine Trail, and way cheaper than some big-name, overrated school

Also lots of service help from college students looking to earn a little extra money as odd jobs and chores present themselves to the retiree.
