'course, I live in North Texas...
Howdy neighbor :) .... almost the exact same situation and space here.
You are wrong about this. Colleges don't teach much, but colleges are where a lot of people get married. College is where kids transition from living at home, to living on their own. College is where important networking takes place, like Hewlett-Packard, Jerry Jones/Jimmy Johnson (dallas cowboys owner and former coach), David Filo/Jerry Yang (Yahoo), Sergei Brin/Larry Paige (google), Bill and Hillary Clinton (yuck but true), William Rehnquist and Sandra O'Connor (Stanford Law classmates).
It is why everytime you see Michigan State in the final four, you see Magic Johnson in the stands. It is why you still see Tiger Woods wear a stanford hat.
Many low level colleges may be replaced, but the top 500 or so will always remain.
Well howdy back at ya, neighbor! We got it good, don't we?
Oh, it can be had out here. Especially if you get an hour away from Dallas. You wouldn't believe what can be had for the money.
Are you looking for a job?

Would you mind telling where in North Texas? Is it a suburb of Dallas?
Get north of Frisco and the prices plummet. Have a reliable car to get into the part of DFW you need to get to.
