Is Huntsville appealing to college students? Ways to improve?

LOL Im not an A&M student, I went to Alabama, but I am from Huntsville though.

What about Oakwood College( well I believe it just became a University)?

Maybe UNA or USA.

I always forget about UNA and USA and they are really good schools. I also didnt know that there was a UWA.
With Oakwood being in Huntsville, do you all believe it adds diversity to the population, since many of there students are not originally from Huntsville or Alabama, although they have a smaller student body than UAH and A&M?

Just to be clear, the city didn't cancel the Black Arts festival. WEUP and the rest of the sponsors didn't have enough money to put it on.
