Unfortunately, the college my kids are most familiar with is Princeton. Oy vey. But what they usually see there is the busy, heavily pedestrian-trafficked shopping street next to the campus. They like that; it gives a city feel to what is really not a big town. Google Street View is telling me that many, perhaps most, colleges and universities are very self-contained and have little contact, especially little walkable contact, with the towns or cities they inhabit. BTW, my auto-correct makes it very hard to type walkable. It really wants me to say wallaby instead.
