Just a random question that came to me today. Which college can claim they've schooled the highest number of American presidents? Anyone knows this? Would be a fun fact to share with my History club.
Harvard University holds the title for producing the most U.S. presidents. A total of eight presidents have attended Harvard at either the undergraduate or graduate level.
Here is a list of those presidents:
1. John Adams
2. John Quincy Adams
3. Rutherford Hayes (attended Harvard Law School)
4. Theodore Roosevelt
5. Franklin D. Roosevelt
6. John F. Kennedy
7. George W. Bush (attended Harvard Business School)
8. Barack Obama (attended Harvard Law School)
It's definitely an interesting historical fact! Take this into consideration, though: not all these presidents attended Harvard for their undergraduate studies; some went there for postgraduate degrees.
