Thoughts on investing in a college town not near a major city

BP,

I currently have a deal on the table that I am very interested in. It is located in a college town in which seems to be a good community (population roughly 20,000). My big concern is that it is not nearby any major cities (2 hrs from the largest city). Would this be a concern to you? I almost feel like it is just strictly a college town? I am an OOS investor on this deal and I am visiting in a week or so. I just would like everyones thoughts on this. Thank you.
