Hoping to capitalize on the major spending power of college students? The Sparefoot named the top cities with the largest percentage of young people living in on-campus housing. Springfield, Mass. leads this list (we're sure it still looks just like this pic from 1905), home to more than 63,000 undergrads, and 40% of them live in residence halls. Local universities have found that each on-campus resident spends about $2,500 a year in the region on top of tuition and room and board. Other hotspots on the list include Syracuse, Albany, and Rochester in New York; Greenville, S.C.; and Providence, R.I.
