I lived there few a few years in a 3BR house next to Chapman University while renting out the other two bedrooms. 

Question,I have a friend in Orlando, FL wanting to buy a townhouse 12 mins away from Universal Studios. 

Loma Linda has a high demand for rentals with the hospital and university there. 

I am from Barcelona too, small world.Very interesting to hear your story and thanks for the suggestions.You are correct, I have to be cautious with which markets I get into, but as of today I am still analyzing options and not set with just one.Regarding NC, I like universities as an anchor of value for a location.

With announcements occurring almost weekly of new corporations bringing jobs to our economy and new developments breaking ground, Tucson seems poised to finally shed its title as Phoenix’s little sister.I have lived in Tucson for 10 years, I moved to the city to attend the University of Arizona in 2007.

Very interested in possibly investing near Simpson University and bethel church as both attract a lot of visitors.

preferably a small City with a university.

This is a good question and as others have indicated, there is no correct, universal answer. 

Especially my first year of university in Munchen.

One idea would be to get onto Craig'slist and bring up the map search for properties for rent near the university.
