Colleges & Universities in Boston
Depending on who you ask, Boston is best known for its role in the American Revolution, its chowder, its sports teams, or maybe its baked beans (the beans gave the city its famous nickname, Beantown).
The Boston area, which includes surrounding communities such as Cambridge, Milton, and Newton, is also known as "America's College Town" thanks to its high concentration of top colleges and universities.
With so many colleges and universities in the area, a significant percentage of the population in Boston is directly involved with academics in one form or another. Of the city's 3 million residents, one out of five is involved with higher education as a student, staff person, or similar affiliation.
