I am laughing hysterically at this from my university town with four campuses spread out over a hilly landscape, tons of traffic and limited public transportation schedules that would triple commute time for most workers. Things are set up to work for the irregular schedules of students, not professionals (even academic professionals). When I lived 1 mile from my office in town, I would bike instead of use the bus, because the bus didn't run on a schedule that would correspond to any of the 3 largest employers in town, catering to the schedules of students and senior citizens who need to get to mid morning/mid afternoon classes or shopping instead. I've seen university towns like you describe (or university areas of other towns), but that's not even close to universal, and many other university towns in my region are also very lacking in public transit.
