<p>“To be a college town, you have to (1) be a town and (2) have a dominent university that pretty much permeates all aspect of city life”</p>
<p>Madison and Austin are not towns, since they are both large. Did you know that Austin has well over 800,000 people in its city limits? That is more people than in Detroit. They are both state capitals where politics and/or industry are just as important as the colleges located in them.</p>
