Happy to see GF included, but I'm not sure I'd consider some of these other cities/area small.

It's a matter of context. Fargo is small compared to Minneapolis or even Omaha. But it isn't small compared to Brookings or Vermillion.

It's not even context.  The #1 area is St Charles, MO, which is literally a suburb of St Louis.  It would be like rating Edina or Bloomington, MN as #1 "smalll" college area if they had a college.  According to the article, they took anywhere outside of a metropolitan area.  But St Charles is literally still in the St Louis Metro area, so they are using a very loose definition of what is in a metro area and what isn't.

Having been to St. Charles, 100% agree.
