Education Hubs in the U.S.

Hey folks, I'm trying to work out which cities could offer me the most diverse range of colleges to choose from. Does anyone have any info on which U.S. cities have the most colleges? I'm thinking such cities might also have an interesting mix of student cultures, which could influence my college life.
