What I find interesting about college towns is how they influence the areas surrounding them. Among other, Carbondale, IL; Athens, OH; Madison, WI; Lawrence, KS all have rural areas nearby that vote significantly more Democratic than demographically similar rural areas in neighboring counties. I don't know if this can be chalked up to commuters, cultural-geographic influence, or what.
