College Station, Texas

Great city, not at all a college town. Boston also isn’t a college town. Folks need to stop listing cities they like that just happen to have a college.

You don’t have to like college towns but a centered college identity is the generally understood definition. You don’t get to redefine Chicago or Pittsburgh as college towns.
