Just for fun, I'm wondering, what colleges have most of our U.S Presidents attended? I've looked it up, but I've seen kind of conflicting answers so I thought I would ask here. Does anyone have any idea?
To provide a direct answer, the colleges that have produced the most U.S. Presidents are Harvard University and Yale University.
Harvard University alumni include John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D Roosevelt, John F Kennedy, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. As for Yale University, it can count William Howard Taft, Gerald Ford, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush among its alumni.
It's important to note that this data doesn't necessarily mean attending these universities will increase one's odds of becoming a president. However, both are elite, highly respected institutions, indicating that the leaders of our country often come from such educational backgrounds.
