Not only is Ann Arbor gorgeous during football season (think lots of trees), the University of Michigan is also one of the most iconic football schools in the country. If you're over the game, you can easily escape to one of the many parks, adventure along Huron River, and take in the scenery nearby, which is easy to do during Fall. Plus, the campus has architecture to explore and funky coffee shops that are perfect for grabbing a book and staying indoors for a while as well.
