I didn't know that Stanford was considered part of metro San Jose (even though San Jose should really be in the same metro as San Francisco).

What are you looking at for metro areas? Here in the Bay Area, San Jose is considered part of the San Francisco Bay Area.

The metro areas are clearly defined by the US census bureau. It isn't just me making them up on my own.

The CSA (Combined Statistical Area) is Raleigh-Durham-Cary buth those are separated into the Raleigh-Cary and Durham-Chapal Hill Metros.

Both Syracuse and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (#79) are located in Syracuse. Nothing debatable there, just has to be added. Same with Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Clark University (both in Worcester, MA). And, like others are saying, you need to better define what counts as a 'metro area'.

CSA is san francisco-san jose-oakland, which includes both Stanford and Cal. If you're going to include Raleigh/Chapel Hill (for UNC/Duke), you must include the Bay Area for Stanford/Cal

If UC Irvine is considered a part of the Los Angeles metro area, then San Jose is a part of the San Francisco area.

If you're counting San Jose and San Francisco separately, you have to count Boulder and Denver separately too.

if Rutgers is on here for NY, then Yale should be on here also. (however, I do not consider New Brunswick a suburb of New York. and I used to live 30 mins from Piscataway). Calling something a "metro city" is kinda iffy. I would do "cities" with multiple top100 colleges even though there might only be two answers. I like the idea though

I'm going to second the call for Dallas to be included. Southern Methodist University in Fort Worth (#56) and Texas Christian University in Dallas (#99) are located in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA.

I think you should just go ahead and use the Combined Statistical Areas.

I think you should accept "Saint Louis" in addition to "St Louis".

you should accept Raleigh or Raleigh-Durham for Durham. The metro is generally distinguished by one of those two names.

If the University of Colorado is metro Denver, then Stanford and Berkeley are almost certainly part of metro San Francisco
