American college towns represent a unique but understudied feature of the global educational landscape. With hundreds of college towns dotting the American geographical landscape, this uniqueness is particularly relevant for rural higher education. This article identifies a taxonomy of characteristics found commonly in the everyday environments of American college towns. The taxonomy, which represents a research-based model to embed higher education into the everyday cultural ecosystems of small towns where there are few, if any, place-based higher education institutions, is a result of a study encompassing 100 American college towns across 34 states. Although the study considered only the surface structures observed through first encounters in college towns, the drive-by nature of the study and its conclusions offer a unique contribution to the body of higher education research. I close with discussion and offer some implications for rural communities.

美国大学城的日常特征:识别与讨论

美国大学城代表了全球教育格局中一个独特但未被充分研究的特征。数百个大学城点缀在美国的地理景观中,这种独特性与农村高等教育尤其相关。本文确定了美国大学城日常环境中常见的特征分类法。该分类法代表了一种基于研究的模型,可将高等教育嵌入小城镇的日常文化生态系统中,在这些小城镇中,当地高等教育机构很少(如果有的话),它是一项涵盖 34 个美国大学城的研究的结果。状态。虽然这项研究只考虑了在大学城第一次相遇时观察到的表面结构,该研究的驱动性质及其结论为高等教育研究提供了独特的贡献。我以讨论结束,并提供对农村社区的一些影响。
