This is an awesome little town. I went to school in Carbondale from 2002 until 2004 and it was a great experience. The town is full of friendly, fun-loving people and it’s always a good time. The bars and parties get a little crazy.. but thats never a bad thing! If you’re not into the bar scene, carbondale and its smaller surrounding towns have tons of nature parks. Theres an abundance of places to rock climb, hike, etc. Spillway (a beautiful waterfall where all the students go to swim, barbeque, party, enjoy scenery) is a must!!
