College towns are “an academic archipelago,” says UNH professor Blake Gumprecht, “similar to one another, they differ in fundamental ways from other cities and regions." Colleges bring culture, jobs and economic growth to towns, but can also bring crime, crowds or resentment between residents and the academic community. We’ll take a look at the college town, what makes them unique, the roles they play in the state and the love hate relationship between the college and the community.
