Most College-Dense American City?

Hey, just out of curiosity, I was wondering - which American city is home to the most colleges or universities? I'm particularly interested in places with a high concentration of academic institutes. Thanks!

Boston, Massachusetts could be considered the most college-dense city in America. It's home to more than 30 colleges and universities within the Boston metro region, including well-known institutions like Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Interestingly, many of these colleges and universities are situated within a relatively small geographic area, contributing to Boston's reputation as an intellectual and cultural hub. While not all these institutions are located directly within city limits, they're all part of the Greater Boston area, indicating a high concentration of academic institutions.

So if you're interested in places dense with academic institutions, Boston definitely would come high on your list!
