What counties with big colleges/universities did Trump win? Also, what counties which Hillary won did Trump win the non-university-affiliated population?

I don't think they've put out the data yet for 2016, but in 2008 and 2012 the precinct in West Lafayette that includes only Purdue dorms actually voted narrowly for McCain and Romney.

Here's thirteen counties that all have large schools that Trump won.

Tuscaloosa, Alabama (University of Alabama).
Maricopa County, Arizona (Arizona State University).
Grant County, Indiana (Indiana Wesleyan University).
Pickens & Anderson County, South Carolina (Clemson University).
Brazos County, Texas (Texas A&M University).
Hays County, Texas (Texas State University).
McClennan County, Texas (Baylor University).
Cache County, Utah (BYU).
Utah County, Utah (Utah State).
Lynchburg City, Virginia (Liberty University).
Cabell County, West Virginia (Marshall University).
Monongalia County, West Virginia (West Virginia University).




Knox, Tennessee (Tennessee)
Rutherford, Tennessee (Middle Tennessee)
Lee, Alabama (Auburn)
Lafayette, Mississippi (Ole Miss)
Washington, Arkansas (Arkansas)
Cleveland, Oklahoma (Oklahoma)
Payne, Oklahoma (Oklahoma St.)
TCU (all four counties that cover Fort Worth voted for Trump)
Riley, Kansas (Kansas St.)
Warren, Kentucky (Western Kentucky)
Craighead, Arkansas (Arkansas St.)

If they did county recounts, Douglas, NE (Nebraska) would be heading to one as well.

Trump University counties are fraud counties meant to prey on the poor and other vulnerable citizens!

Wait, what are we talking about again?

I combined all those mentioned here:

Tuscaloosa County, Alabama (University of Alabama).
Pike County, Alabama (Troy University).
Lee County, Alabama (Auburn University).
Craighead County Arkansas (Arkansas State).
Washington County, Arkansas (University of Arkansas).
Maricopa County, Arizona (Arizona State University).
Ada County, Idaho (Boise State University).
McLean County, Illinois (Illinois State University).
Grant County, Indiana (Indiana Wesleyan University).
Riley County, Kansas (Kansas State University).
Franklin County, Kentucky (Kentucky State University).
Warren County, Kentucky (Western Kentucky University).
Isabella County, Michigan (Central Michigan University).
Lafayette County, Mississippi (University of Mississippi).
Greene County, Missouri (Missouri State University)
Blue Earth County, Minnesota (Minnesota State University)
Cass County, North Dakota (North Dakota State University).
Grand Forks County, North Dakota (University of North Dakota)
Cleveland County, Oklahoma (University of Oklahoma).
Payne County, Oklahoma (Oklahoma State University).
Wood County, Ohio (Bowling Green University).
Pickens & Anderson County, South Carolina (Clemson University).
Knox County, TN (University of Tennessee)
Brazos County, Texas (Texas A&M University).
Hays County, Texas (Texas State University).
McClennan County, Texas (Baylor University).
Tarrant County Texas (Texas Christian University).
Utah County, Utah (BYU).
Cache County, Utah (Utah State).
Lynchburg City, Virginia (Liberty University).
Cabell County, West Virginia (Marshall University).
Monongalia County, West Virginia (West Virginia University).
Albany County, Wyoming (University of Wyoming).

To answer the second part of the OP's question, we would need precinct results to be sure. I'm certain that Centre County, Pennsylvania (Penn State University) would fit that definition, as Hillary! just barely won the county outright. I would think that Douglas and Lincoln Counties in Nebraska (University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Nebraska Omaha) would fit that definition as well.

I suspect that the counties in Iowa that have large universities and Oktibbeha County, Mississippi (Mississippi State) would fit there as well.

You forgot to add Rutherford, TN (MTSU).  Here are a couple more:
Horry, SC (Coastal Carolina)
Bulloch, GA (Georgia Southern)
Cache, UT (Utah State)
Lubbock, TX (Texas Tech)
Lafayette, LA (LA-Lafayette)
Ouachita, LA (LA-Monroe)
Lincoln, LA (Louisiana Tech)
Mobile, AL (South Alabama)
Pike, AL (Troy)
Calhoun, AL (Jacksonville St.)
Tulsa, OK (Tulsa)
Forrest, MS (Southern Miss)
Hamilton, TN (UT-Chattanooga)
Lee, FL (Florida Gulf Coast)

There are definitely numerous more, but I'm too lazy to keep going.

Hillsdale County, Michigan (Hillsdale College); 70.69% Trump - 24.07% Clinton

-I have no clue what's going on here. It apparently became solidly GOP over the course of the 1920s, and it's heavily German, so it swung strongly against FDR in 1940. It went heavily for Trump in the primary, and, despite already being solidly GOP, swung tremendously toward Trump in November. The closest analogy here is with Livingston County.

Hillsdale is an openly conservative school and markets itself as such.  If I had to guess, I would bet that the Hillsdale student body voted something like:
80% Trump
15% McMullin
5% Johnson

Now, this depends on what proportion of students vote in states where McMullin was on the ballot.  In the primaries, I would suspect that Cruz overwhelmingly carried its student body.

McMullin didn't get many votes at all in Hillsdale City, though Johnson did:

I would wager that the majority of college students don't vote at their campus addresses (and those that do are often skewed by what campus groups are pushing registering on campus), so it's never that simple to see how a student body voted.

Often the dorms are their own precinct, so you can at least see how students who live on campus (who may vote differently than ones who don't) voted.

What I was saying is that the vast majority of students who live on campus are still registered at their house, despite being eligible to vote on campus.  And, it can be that the only ones who are voting on campus are because a group (either of the right or the left) is the one pushing students to register on campus.

For the States that have precinct level results, we can find these.

VPAP has great precinct results for Virginia. The only school on my list from Virginia is Liberty University. It does have it's own precinct for the dorms.

Here are the results:

THIRD WARD SECOND PRECINCT (Precinct 302)

Donald Trump (R)   2,739   86.24%
Evan McMullin (I)   156   4.91%
Hillary Clinton (D)   140   4.41%
Gary Johnson (L)   137   4.31%
Jill Stein (Green)   4   0.13%

I think that ExtremeRepublican is right though in that many of the students probably vote absentee at the address of record.

Liberty has more than 15,000 residential students, yet there were only a little over 3000 who voted at the school precinct. Some of the student body probably live off campus and vote in other Lynchburg City precincts, but it is impossible to tell.

Utah County, Utah (Utah State).
Lynchburg City, Virginia (Liberty University).
Cabell County, West Virginia (Marshall University).
Monongalia County, West Virginia (West Virginia University).
Albany County, Wyoming (University of Wyoming).

To answer the second part of the OP's question, we would need precinct results to be sure. I'm certain that Centre County, Pennsylvania (Penn State University) would fit that definition, as Hillary! just barely won the county outright. I would think that Douglas and Lincoln Counties in Nebraska (University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Nebraska Omaha) would fit that definition as well.

I suspect that the counties in Iowa that have large universities and Oktibbeha County, Mississippi (Mississippi State) would fit there as well.




Lynchburg trended very very far left this election, would've gone Democratic for the first time since Truman if Hillary had gotten to 50% of the PV

And BYU is in Utah, Utah.

Also you forgot Madison, Idaho (BYU-I)...most Republican County in the whole nation.

-Ah, so that's what's going on there. Lynchburg went for Ron Paul in the 2012 primary; Liddle Marco in the 2016 one.

It's tough to tell.  Some, like Liberty and Hillsdale, are very openly conservative and have few to no Democrats.  Others, like Alabama, Auburn, and Ole Miss are likely to be quite conservative simply by virtue of white millennials voting 85% R in Alabama and Mississippi, even if it's impossible to give an exact number.  LSU (yes, not in a Trump county, but a SEC school) did a very organized campus mock election in October, which Trump won by 15 points. 

At many of these schools, the undergrads are likely far more Republican than the grad students, but it's hard to measure, because, at least at my school, few students actually vote using their campus address (even though you absolutely can), and those that do aren't reflective of the student body as a whole because the campus Democratic organization has, at least in the past, encouraged students to register on campus, but the Republican organization never pushed it.  But, the grad students and other university-related personnel often drive the liberalism of these areas more than rank-and-file undergrads, which vote not too differently than what we would expect based on their location, age, and race.

Not quite. Hillary! did worse than Obama, Kerry and Gore in Lynchburg. The swing from 2012 to 2016 can be attributed almost entirely to McMuffin and Johnson votes.
