Interesting. My list would be completely different.

Agreed. This list seems to believe that the bigger the better. Maybe important in some areas of life but not necessary in a college town.

Tampa Bay, Florida...noted college town.

I agree. They list Las Vegas, NV. I'm sure that's a fun town to go to college in, but it's not anything I'd call a college town.

I stopped there. To me, a college town is Auburn, Ala., or Starkville or Oxford -- a town that's largely defined by having a college that's a major, influential "half" of it.

Austin, Orlando, Tampa, Raleigh, Phoenix/Tempe/Scottsdale, Atlanta, Reno, Pittsburgh, Miami, Tallahassee, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Madison, Sacramento are all cities that have a college campus

College towns are Starkville, Oxford, Auburn, Bloomington Indiana, College Station Texas, State College Pennsylvania, Charlottesville, Blacksburg, Chapel Hill are college towns.

These folks need to start over & exclude every campus that resides in a city with a population of 150K plus
