I've lived in both towns as a young person. Having said that, the mild winters are great, but those spring snowstorms can be heartbreaking for gardeners.

One ranking I've seen has Boulder with a cost of living index of 140 (100 is the average). Compare that to one of other college towns - Tallahassee, Fl with an index of 94. The biggest component of Boulder's high cost of living index is housing, which has a rating of 204, twice the national average! Thanks for visiting.
