	This is officially one of the worst quizzes I've ever played. What about Suffolk, Simmmons and Emmanuel, just to name a few that you missed. And they are all included in your source!! And accept Harvard and MIT instead of having to spell out. I want those 5 minutes back.

	I'm inclined to agree with CapeYaleCod, although I might have been a bit more genteel in phrasing my criticisms. What do you mean by "... by Letter" in your title, bdl80? Do you mean LARGEST Colleges and Universities in Boston by letter? If so, then you should say so. If not, then you should tell us what you DO mean. I kept typing "Boston College" and "Brandeis University" over and over, because I know they're in Boston, or at least the Boston metro area. I just got so frustrated that I hit "Give up". I think this one needs work.

	Sorry! It was supposed to be an alphabetical list but I couldn't figure out how to change the formatting to include all acceptable answers for B for example. I'm reformatting.

	This quiz is horrible. These colleges are not located in Boston: Andover/Newton, Bentley, Boston Baptist, Boston College, Boston Grad School of Psych, Brandeis, Cambridge, Curry, Eastern Nazerene, Episcopal Divinity, Harvard, Hebrew College, HCHCGOST, Hult, Lasell, Longy, MIT, Mount Ida, NE Art, Newbury, Pine Manor, Quincy, and Tufts. These colleges are located in places like Cambridge, Quincy, Brookline, Somerville, Newton, Waltham, Milton and Chestnut Hull.

	I have to agree with most of the comments. I would change it to Greater Boston. Bentley yes, Babson no? Plus I typed many of these, but not exact so I didn't get credit. I typed out Massachustts College of Art (but not design) also I wrote wentwroth institute. They should have counted. I wrote all the words for MIT, and the abreaviation, but not the work "of"

	This could be a good quiz, but to make it so (if you think it worth your while) you'd have to put in a huge amount of work entering alternative names. For example, neither Massachusetts Institute of Technology nor MIT nor M.I.T. worked because of the way you listed "Massachusetts Institute of Technology-MIT". Similarly I couldn't get "University of Massachusetts Boston" or "UMass Boston" to work for technical reasons I don't quite understand. I really hate to make this harder for others, but you'll remove an accidental shortcut that saved me, which is that you allowed the "last name" option (e.g. "Lincoln" for "Abraham Lincoln"), which produced many names automatically when I typed in "College", "University", "School", "Institute", "Boston", "Massachusetts", etc. It's your call, but I'd allow "Massachusetts College of Art" (which I didn't get because I didn't add "Design") and "Wentworth Institute" (which I got by adding "of Technology"). It's easy for frustrated quiz-takers to call this "the worst" (they should look at the "20 sports rivalries" quiz!), but anyone who takes the time to compose a quiz (I've only created two) deserves some credit and encouragement to create better quizzes.

	make it accept answers like MIT, Harvard, BC, BU, Umass, etc - as others have said.
