Wow. I never thought of OKC as a "college town" but if you think about it, this area is the undisputed capitol of higher education in the state and don't let a TU or OSU grad convince you otherwise. I kinda wish that the city movers and shakers leveraged this fact a little more.

Considering we have OU with a DT campus, the OU-HSC, UCO, OCU, Oklahoma Christian, OSU-OKC, OCCC, Rose State and Langston, this really could be considered a college town.

Not to mention SNU and then OBU has a downtown location too. There are also tons of other smaller schools around too.

Those pictures of the towns were horrible. I think they had their accountant that has never been outside take those pictures.
