I went to grad school at University of Michigan.  It's 50 miles west of Detroit.  I used to ride my bike a lot around the area and there was nothing in the towns right outside Ann Arbor.  This was 30 years ago though.  Don't know what is there today.  I really don't believe Ann Arbor would be much of anything if it wasn't for the school and the associated hospital.  Everything revolves around the school.  It truly is a college town although it's a big college town because there are so many non-students living there.  But that is what happens with a big state school.  There are hundreds of professors, administrators and the hospital employs a lot of people.  But again, none of that would exist without the school.

Take a similar school, University of Wisconsin in Madison.  Madison is a very cool town that revolves around the school, but not as much as Ann Arbor.  It's also the state capital.  It would exist and be a smaller sized city without the school.
