I think the interesting question is: will there be college towns like we know them in a decade or two? I'm not thinking of places that are essentially also (or adjacent to) large metropolitan areas. Austin and Durham will be fine. I'm thinking of towns where the college is basically the number one attraction and employer. And I'd put my money on many of those towns being on the wrong-end of the remote learning trend, while only nominally on the right-end of the remote working trend. Fewer people will be attracted to your once-attractive college town when the student population shrinks dramatically and the businesses they kept alive start to die off (restaurants, movie theaters, performance venues, etc.).
