Ann Arbor has once again been ranked as one of the nation's top college towns.

Livability.com ranked Ann Arbor, home of the University of Michigan, No. 9 in its third-annual list of top college towns.

Last week the Princeton Review ranked Ann Arbor as the tenth-best college town in its annual rankings list.

"Nearly one out of every two residents here is a student, making it a true college town," the Livability ranking states. "But you don't have to be a student to enjoy what the university has to offer. There is a range of musical, theater and dance productions that anyone can attend."

Bloomington, Ind., is ranked No. 7 on the Livability list, Champaign, Ill., is ranked No. 4 and College Station, Texas, home of Texas A&M University, is ranked 1st.
