In the AIER report we are further down from second, but it does give an idea of how much a strength higher education potentially lends to Columbus. OSU arguably bolsters the stats, but the OWU's, Denison's and Capital's of the area make it diversified and dense. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/columbus-as-test-market-featured-on-cbs-news#post-426841 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 12:07:16 +0000 MichaelC 426841@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>DRU,</p> <p>How does the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area compare? </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/columbus-as-test-market-featured-on-cbs-news#post-426534 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 21:13:30 +0000 dru 426534@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>The '"regional" area for higher ed does include OWU, Denison and others. And outside of Boston metro, you'd be hard pushed to find a higher total population of college/university students in the nation. It's a serious strength that needs to be promoted and leveraged. CBS got that right. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/columbus-as-test-market-featured-on-cbs-news#post-426418 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 10:27:25 +0000 cmu_columbus 426418@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>Central Michigan University has a campus here in Columbus too.
