Good point.  Yes, I'm delighted with the move.  I'm about to go outside and drink beer in the garage with my neighbors who are all pretty awesome.  That makes me happy today.
Speaking of beer in the garage... Grumpy thread addition incoming shortly...

How large can a city be and still be regarded as a "college town"?

Consider metro area population.  I know Cincinnati had over 2 million people and is certainly not a college town as I think of it.  Columbus?  Nope.  

I'd probably limit it to about 500,000 regular residents as a stretch.  I looked up Athens, GA, which I do consider to be a college town, 220,000 metro area, much larger than I thought.

Kid 2 in Columbus, OH became a "guardian ad litem", apparently.  I was unfamiliar with the term.

When I first got to Madison it was 75K and the metro maybe 150K.

College town.

Now that metro is 700K and the city is 300K.

Not a college town.
