After living in Florida for over 35 years, I think I want to explore these types of communities, where one can attend colleges or universities for free, while living in a community near them. I know Penn State has one. I am looking to explore from Virginia to Maine. So, if you know of any, please let me know.
OP,
Living close to UT (Univ of TN) such as 3 miles from the main campus is an experience that will always be cherished. Moved to TN was part of a corp transfer but truly enjoyed the proximity to the Univ, not to mention the medical center they have. Check it out, UT is right next to downtown Knoxville, 4 moderate seasons, 45 min to smoky mt nat park.
Below is a link to Market Sq which is downtown. A visit on a football weekend is an experience, actually a lot of students with parents also during the weekends.
In reference to an earlier post, I went to school at PSU, and would have no desire to live at State College.
PM me if you want. There are some nice hotels for a visit,
I hope this helps!
