College towns in North Carolina aren't really Republican.

Western Carolina University (Cullowhee, Jackson County) and UNC Pembroke (Pembroke, Robeson County) are the only two in the state system that look like they could've gone Republican in 2016. That's based on county-level results, so it is also possible they went Democratic.

Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheville, Wilmington, and Fayetteville are pretty heavily Democratic. Elizabeth City, Boone, and Greenville, despite being small "college towns" are also Democratic.

I guess North Carolina and Virginia are not southern states on Atlas?
