Question
hello!!!!  
i heard that there are many, many colleges in boston.  could you tell me the list of those schools please?  except community colleges.

Answer
Chris,

Boston and the surrounding area does indeed have many colleges. The best place to find all of the colleges is the COOL database put out by the government. The address is http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cool/

Search for colleges in Massachusetts and then at the bottom of the first page click more options. One of the options is distance from home. Type in a zip code for Boston and how far away you are willing to consider and it will give you a list of those schools in that area.

Another site that doesn't list all of the colleges but is more fun and easier to use is the Boston visit site. That address is http://www.bostonvisit.com/college/index.shtml

Those two sites should get you started. Good luck in the search for the right college.
