Tuscaloosa was a city before it was a college town. It is historical for reasons other than the University. However, the University drives the town and everything the town does.
I look at Auburn as a college town. The entire town (downtown, main drag, subdivisions, everything) would not exist without the college.
I don't know enough about some of the other mid-size college towns, but obviously Knoxville, BR, Columbia, Nashville, Lexington, etc are cities that have pieces of them not directly tied to the college.
Not good or bad, just the way it is.
