Nicollet
6.2
High score (8-10)
Nicollet County has Saint Peter — home of Gustavus Adolphus College, a well-regarded Lutheran liberal arts school with serious academic culture. The college gives Saint Peter a level of intellectual and cultural life unusual for a city of 12,000. The campus community is genuinely more open-minded than typical small Minnesota cities and the student events and college-area bars create real social venues. Mankato is right next door for more options.

Nicollet County's Saint Peter has Gustavus Adolphus but it's still a small college town and most interesting students leave after graduation. The surrounding county is agricultural. Saint Peter's college energy is real but temporary and the town empties in summer. Proximity to Mankato is the sustained social asset.
Lower score (below 6)
Nicollet County outside of Gustavus Adolphus is quiet, agricultural, and locally rooted. The college town energy is real but very campus-specific. A foreign man without university connections would find very limited social options in Saint Peter and would need Mankato for any real social life.
