Well this is only if you equate education with intelligence. No wisecracks Derek! Anyone think their city was grosly misrepresented?

Neat! Never thought Lexington would be on that list. Hopefully this will help get rid of Kentucky’s reputation of being a stupid state.
*Looks at Eastern Kentucky*
Or… maybe not.

Anyway glad my home city is on the list. I’ll be getting my degree in the next few years to help boost said percentage :)

S-e-a-t-t-l-e. SEATTLE. SEATTLE. SEATTLE. ;) It’s because everyone here is wired on caffeine and spends their rainy afternoons in the libraries all day.

Too bad it doesn’t compare with big Canadian and French cities ;)
“Montreal has four universities, and a greater percentage of its population are students than in any other large city in North America.”

Ok ok… that was a quick paste from wikipedia… I was lazy… but the ratio is pretty high indeed… free – almost at least looking at the us – higher education does help ;)

I would expect Portland closer to Seattle’s rank.

Well, considering that I live in a small town, no. But the closest major city isn’t even on the list. Which isn’t a good sign.
