Obama? He went to Occidental, Columbia and Harvard.

Curious about why you think social media is pushing kids to cities. Could you elaborate?[/quote]

Obama taught at Chicago, Chicago published his memoir, his top aids are from Chicago, library going on Chicago's campus.

If you look at teens' social media and snapchats, they love concerts, cityscapes, skyscrapers, brick alleys, cafes and urban scenes. Gossip Girl, Sex and the City, young celebrities probably helped fuel this.

Traditionally, the "college vibe" was isolated small quant college town ... now it seems most kids crave an urban setting with big city aesthetics.[/quote]

Meh, there are plenty of music festivals in the boonies, like Firefly. Gossip Girl and Sex in the City were earlier generations--our teens aren't marathon watching them.  OK, maybe How I Met Your Mother and Big Little Lies, but Parks and Rec, Game of Thrones (for those whose parents let them), and House of Cards are just as big. Possibly your teens are watching Sex and the City, but mine and the ones I know aren't. So I'd be wary of generalizing.[/quote]
