I know British soaps are a different beast, but it worked on Hollyoaks for years. The cast turnover rate was high, but the show was good at making you care about the new characters that came in to replace them. When they got rid of the college as a major backdrop was probably it's biggest mistake and if it were up to me and I'd bring it back immediately.
I think if Loving started out college based, fans would get used to losing some favourites every few years, as long as the show was smart to keep some around, but with a new purpose that could still tie to back to the college and/or the characters currently enrolled, and Agnes Nixon in particular, who was one of the best at making the fictional town a character all its own, probably sells herself short.
