      I think we’re talking about slightly different things. I agree that Yale is almost certainly affecting the politics of New Haven, or Columbia of Morningside Heights. What I find extremely unlikely is that these universities are meaningfully impacting a CD’s partisanship.

      I find it very unlikely that so many college towns would be so reliably blue if the colleges weren’t there

      Again, I don’t fully dispute that. But enough to affect congressional representation?

      If you lifted U Mich out of Ann Arbor, Michigan-12 would get a whole lot more competitive.

      Pretty standard on election night for early returns to look red, while commentators say "Wait for [insert name of college town]" to come in, at which point it flips blue.

      UCLA has more faculty and admins (about 30,000) than any other top ranked university in the country. Toss in its student body and you’ve got 75,000. Many (most) of those people will not vote in that district or won’t vote at all.

      Those who do vote will vote for a variety of candidates, Dem and GOP alike. What are the odds that UCLA will meaningfully shape a district’s PVI?

      UCLA is also in the middle of a huge city, so that its faculty and students do not cluster within a single district as they do in smaller college towns. Moreover, it's located in an already blue area. This isn't the right school to look at.

      Or, more accurately, Massachusetts 2 before redistricting. Multiple colleges made that congressional district more liberal than the places around it for sure.

      Madison is an extreme example, its sheer size plus the state government totally dominates a fairly small city.

          I may be wrong but Chapel Hill, NC comes to mind. Raleigh and Durham have schools too but they're large enough they're kind of blue already, but Chapel Hill seems a little bit bluer than both as sort of the Triangle's "college town" for UNC

          If you're looking for college towns that shape the political geography, the big state universities are where the action is.
