Cities with degree holders

Forbes currently has a story about the "smartest cities" in America. By smartest they mean the cities with the highest percentage of degree holders. Boulder, Colorado came in at number one and the Fort Collins - Loveland Area came in at number seven in the nation. So I would say that Colorado is doing quite well compared to the rest of the country for college graduates. I will in no way make the leap from city with the most degree holders to the smartest city. I leave that to others. If you want to read the Forbes story just click on the headline for the post.

What does all of this do to the best minds among the students? Most of them endure their college years with the teeth-clenched determination of serving out a jail sentence. The psychological scars they acquire in the process are incalculable. But they struggle as best they can to preserve their capacity to think, sensing dimly that the essence of the torture is an assault on their mind. And what they feel toward their school ranges from mistrust to resentment to contempt to hatred – intertwined with a sense of exhaustion and excruciating boredom.
