Athens and Tuscaloosa and Gainesville are cities where the college drives the city.


Wiki said Gainesville only has 125,000 in it. Are their sister cities in the region that significantly add to that number?

It looks like Tuscaloosa has about 180K. Is that right?

Bryan/College Station are truly twin cities (you can't tell when you've left one and entered the other), and there are slightly under 250,000 in the two cities.

275000 in the metro. I mean, UF is huge, but that's still really large for a college town IMO.
