Um... Brandeis? Wellesley? Neither are in Boston proper, but most of the schools you have listed aren't either. Also, you should allow shorthand... 'Harvard' for 'Harvard University' and so on.

First off, this quiz has already been done a couple of times before, and FAR more inclusively. See, for example, http://www.sporcle.com/games/katy_/bostoncolleges. Second, no Brandeis = no love from me.

UMASS should be accepted, Harvard should be accepted, Northeastern, and so on. You forgot Holy Cross, which is in Brookline, Mass.

Holy Cross is actually in Worcester, but nonetheless should be included. This quiz should be around 100 colleges.

Holy Cross could be left out, since Worcester is a big city in its own right, but Boston is considered 'the biggest college town in America' for a reason. This is highly noninclusive....

What about MCPHS? Emmanuel? There are loads of colleges missing from this.

Yeah I was annoyed that MCPHS and Wheelock and Brandeis were not included. And I have lived in Boston my entire life and I somehow have never heard of Hellenic. So weird.
