What state boasts the most colleges on a per capita basis?

Hi guys, so I was thinking, while some states have a large number of colleges due to their size, I'm more curious about which state has the most colleges relative to their population? Has anyone here looked into that?

a year ago

Hello! Yes, this is an interesting question! The state that takes the top spot in this regard is Vermont. Despite its small size, Vermont boasts a high number of colleges relative to its population. This means that per capita, Vermont's population has an abundant selection of higher education establishments to choose from. Of course, the individual characteristics of these institutions, like size, type, programs offered, and admission selectivity can vary significantly.
