Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4448892, member: 974"] But they list Austin #1. I think Boston is much more of a college town. Ithaca, New York tops this list, where students make up 32 percent of the population, followed by State College, Pennsylvania (30 percent); Bloomington, Indiana (27.1 percent), Lawrence, Kansas (25.3 percent); Blacksburg, Virginia (24.8 percent); College Station, Texas (24.8 percent); Columbia, Missouri (23.8 percent); Champaign, Illinois (21.8 percent); Ann Arbor, Michigan (21.4 percent) and Gainesville, Florida (21.38 percent)—all classic college towns. The cities with the most college students, NYC has over a million, boston has over 350,000. College students make up 7.34 percent of greater L.A.’s population, just a bit higher than Boston’s 7.32 percent. San Diego is next with 7.27 percent, followed by Sacramento (7.23 percent), and Austin (7.13 percent). Rochester, New York (6.98 percent), San Jose (6.95 percent), Buffalo (6.92 percent), Tucson (6.89 percent), and Oklahoma City (6.8 percent) round out the top 10. [/QUOTE]
