The American Institute for Economic Researched on Wednesday named Boulder the best small city for college students in its 2010-2011 College Destinations guide.
This is the second straight year Boulder has been No. 1 among cities with 250,000 to 1 million residents.
The institute analyzed 222 metropolitan areas based on 12 criteria, including student concentration, diversity, research capacity, cost of living and arts and leisure.
While Boulder ranked high in all categories, it was the city's professional opportunities that put Boulder on top, said Kerry Lynch, senior fellow at the research institute.
