Default Which of the unis would provide the best location?

I'm probably looking to apply to 2 or 3 of these. Please post opinions if you get time. Also, please feel free to post which would be the worst options available (I probably should have done a poll for this).

Important things

Weather
Closer to home is better
Beautiful area
Stuff to do, e.g concerts
Low Crime
Cheap Housing
School has good rep, would like to be around smart ppl
Don't mind living in big city or small town, but would like latter to be within 90 min. commute of city.

Best location for what? What will you be studying? I'm ssaying Austin bewcause it's an amazing party town with awesome live music, but I admit to being biased.

Here is my worry about Austin. I don't know much about it, but Texas doesn't appeal to me. I don't want to live in an area like Big Steve describes where being Gay is seen like some kind of disease and you are persecuted because of it. Being around religious people is fine but I don't want to be around Bible Bashers.

I believe Austin was rated as one of the liberalist cities in the US.

This is correct. My dad in Houston refers to it as "that hotbed of liberalism to the North." It's a very liberal town.

Austin is the most open minded city in Texas, so there shouldn't be any problem with the bible thumpers. However, the weather in the summer is hotter than hell and the cost of living isn't cheap.

I voted for San Diego but I'm guessing the cost of living there is expensive too. I bet there's alot of hot, gay marine action though.
