Nope, just a SMALL community college. I lived in a college town for a few years and came to expect the influx of out of towners around graduation time, but there is nothing that size close to here.

Either way you want to call it, Epworth Heights and Tamarac Village residents, do not make the town lose 2/3rds of its population in the winter. I am not going to make anymore comments about this because I LIVE here, I know what I am talking about and refuse to argue with somebody who has limited personal experiences and wants to drag the thread off topic.
You need to read what I said again ...

"Drive through Pentwater in December some time. Ludington shrinks a great deal too though not as much."

I have intimate knowledge of Ludington .. been going there for many years.

Specifically West Shore Community College. Nice little campus, has an indoor skating rink and a recently built student center.

I would hope they are in one way, but I miss my quiet little town for most of the Summer with all the extra traffic and people. I like to see them come every year, but am glad to see them leave every Fall as well.
According to a radio report I heard this morning, traffic on the Mackinac Bridge was up almost 10% in April '09 compared to April '08. It's the first increase in traffic crossing the bridge in 15 months. Hopefully that's a good sign for the upcoming summer tourism season.
