From the Paper:

"Boston and its surrounding suburbs make it the leading center of higher education in the United States. The number of universities is extraordinary. The two largest universities directly within the city are Boston University and Northeastern University. Other Boston suburban schools include Boston College, Brandeis University, Emmanuel College, Emerson College, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Simmons College, Suffolk University, Tufts University, the University of Massachusetts, and Wellesley College. On the positive city, students at these universities keep the atmosphere in Boston young and invigorating relative to stodgier New England areas. However, Bostonians have a tendency to place too much emphasis on where you went to school before focusing on who you are as an individual and what you have to offer. This bias permeates throughout social circles and businesses seeking qualified job applicants. Yet, Boston's strong economy accommodates growth for anyone who is motivated to succeed."
