West Chester, home of West Chester University, is one of the best college towns in Pennsylvania, according to a new list recently released by World Atlas. 

This thriving town of around 18,000 residents has one of the best main streets in the state, where historic buildings play host to a range of restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and so much more. 

In addition to being close to Philadelphia and all the dining and bars, shopping, and entertainment options it offers, West Chester is also close to great recreation areas, such as Marsh Creek State Park. 

Most of West Chester University’s campus is perfectly located just south of the main commercial district, and its students help give downtown West Chester a definite college-town vibe.
