While I love the corridor, they don't exactly have a high bar of entry for the University of Iowa.
I also thought Chicagoland was going to be worse.

*Sees Arlington, VA*
That's where I live. Great ranking.
*Sees Tallahassee*
This ranking is awful.

I don't understand the logic in arbitrarily combining certain "smaller" cities. I see some blatant cases on there where cities/towns are paired up with DRASTICALLY different demographics and median income, etc. Maybe the education gulf isn't as wide, but I'd think there has to be a gulf.
Ann Arbor is cool. I'd move there if I could afford it. I'm only 30 minutes away so I still get to enjoy Frita Batidos whenever. I don't want their traffic though.
Toledo at #92 is expected. Only was there for 5 years for college so i was only really around students the whole time. Walleye and Mudhens games are really fun and cheap.

Yeah I agree. Its obvious that Austin is so high mainly cause there's 50,000 people in the middle of down town that go to UT. Not to mention the capital being there which houses politicians who probably have a bunch of law degrees.

Look at Huntsville up there
That's like the closest thing to me in the top 80

Hory shit. my city is one of the lowest.
Makes sense, we had a big confederate flag parade last year
An estimated 2,000 vehicles, mostly motorcycles and trucks adorned with Rebel flags, took part in a rally and ride Sunday afternoon in support of keeping a Confederate flag flying in front of the McPherson Governmental Complex in Ocala.

Any list that doesn't have Myrtle Beach at rock bottom is highly suspect.

Yup. Kinda surprised that Greensboro isn't higher. (imo only visited A&T)
I think you're also overlooking the large tech sector.
Why does it make the list stupid? Do you might see there might be some relationship between having a university in an area and that area being more highly educated than average? It's not saying smartest cities, it's saying most educated.
That's one thing I love about living in New England, yes we have our issues with race and ethnicity and our history at the beginning was blatantly horrible, but at least I don't have to watch parades for a Traitor flag that represents a war to retain human ownership.
The study excluded people < 25 years old, so the majority of those undergrads would not be counted.

oh, it's based just on college? okay
What else would you use to measure education?

...active library cards? ehhh i got nothin'
still, we've a really good community college, and FIU used to be in the top 10 best deals (as far as cost/education) but they've gone up a lot in recent years, sadly
I live in that WV area, nice to see it so high up on the list.
It's also pretty unsurprising to see this:

I live in Eugene, OR which is #23. It's #7 on quality of education and it's not surprising. UO is pretty great and Lane Community College is one of the best community colleges on the west coast.

I had a feeling central Cali would be bad. Can't wait to leave it behind.

lol Salisbury, MD. Anyone I've known that graduated from the university there seems like they've taken a few hits with a hammer.
