Large college towns or large cities with colleges... How would you distinguish?


Recommended Posts

Here in Springfield there are over 45,000 college kids. The city itself has over 150,000 people, but the Metro Area is 420,000, so 45,000 college kids is a pretty good number. If you were to add the college kids into the city population it would be over 190,000. Missouri State University is in downtown, Drury, Evangel, and OTC are in Midtown. Here's a list:

Missouri State University- 22,407

Ozarks Technical Community College- 10,532

Drury University- 5,782

Evangel University- 2,071

Assemblies of God Theological Seminary- 672

Baptist Bible College- 627

Central Bible College- 583

...and then lots of other smaller colleges with a 100 or more students.

I wouldn't say that Springfield is a college town. When I think of college town I think of Mizzou in Columbia. Springfield is a city in it's self.
