Is that a real question?

Also, what university does Philly have that is better than U of Chicago and Northwestern?

UPenn, Princeton though not in the city and technically in the NYC CSA though closer to Philly (but that topic has been beat to death)

Ok, but I took this as city limits since we are talking about queens and BK, and before it gets brought up N'western has a huge presence in Chicago despite its main campus being in Evanston.

Fair

Then for Philly proper

UPenn, Drexel, Jefferson (Medicine), PCOM (Medicine remember 1 in 6/7 MDs in the US are educated in Philly a huge Medical Education city), Temple, St Joes, LaSalle, Curtis Inst (maybe the number 2 arts school in the country), Villanova/Bryn Mawr/Haverford/Swarthmore (well I guess is just outside the border), and could even go Rutgers (Decent sized Camden campus but again just outside (probably could be measured in feet) the city)

Both Chciago and Philly do really well on this metric actually

The COL is actually lower in Chicago than it is in Philly, which makes it an even bigger "bang for buck".
