Massachusetts is known for its college towns (Boston and Amherst), and it has more than 180 colleges and adult education institutions. Only eight states have more colleges than Massachusetts. Less than 40 of these schools are public, making up just about 20% of the total post secondary schools in the state. Only two US states have a lower percentage of public schools.
Students in Massachusetts are more likely to live in dorms than in other states. Over 35% live in dorms, and only three states have a higher percentage of their students living in dorms. Due to some of the highly selective colleges, such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the average SAT scores in the state are over 530.
The largest college in Massachusetts is the University of Massachusetts with over 50,000 students. Other large and highly respected colleges in Massachusetts include Boston University and Boston College.
