"I'm a Roll Tide Bama man but I was impressed with the area. Great college town with an awesome atmosphere. I wanted to show my daughter some Div. 1A schools and I wasn't dissapointed with this one."
"This is an excellent trip through the pages of history. We visited twice, the first alone with my daughter and the second with friends. It sits on the banks of the Mississippi and was well worth checking out."
