[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I briefly lived in Milford, CT (Yale) and Skillman, NJ (Princeton). However you can find this near the small midwestern liberal arts schools as well, like Hiram, Kenyon, or Oberlin in Ohio.

There are also towns all over that aren’t college towns, but still have that small town feel. Hudson, Ohio and Summit, NJ are two I am aware of but surely there are hundreds of similar places. [/quote]

Adding. I grew up in Ohio in a college town. Put aside the style of the houses, the age/history of the town, and the level of affluence. I think what you are looking for is a community where people are not transient and have deep ties, where people have the education and style or tastes that often come with wealth, but where people are not necessarily wealthy or if they are, no one talks about it. Growing up in a very middle-class town in the rust belt, being a college town meant that I was surrounded by educated adults who valued education. We had access to independent movies, a great local book store, vegetarian restaurants, art exhibits, theatre performances, visiting speakers, and other social and cultural amenities that a small town would not normally have.
You can find those towns both in the NE and Midwest, albeit with slightly different vibes. [/quote]
