I think you'll find that the Boston area has more colleges and universities,
and more prominent ones, than anywhere else in the US, and probably the
world. In no particular order:
MIT, Harvard, Tufts, Brandeis, Wellesley, Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern, New
England Conservatory, ...
Here's the Google directory link to colleges in Massachusetts; most of these are in the Boston area:

Boston is also one of the great eating cities of the United States, leading the second tier behind
San Francisco, New York, and New Orleans. I don't miss the weather but I do miss the chowder, and
the Italian bakeries of the North End.
