Everyone's already said Boston so I'll just throw in Atlanta. They've got Emory, Agnes Scott, Spelman, Morehouse and other HBCUs, and some others I can't think of at the moment.
Los Angeles isn't bad either:
California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech)- #6
University of CA Los Angeles (UCLA)- #25
University of Southern California (USC)- #27
University of California Irvine- #44
Pepperdine University- #54
Liberal Arts:
The Claremont Consortium of Colleges: Pomona (#7), Claremont McKenna (#11), Scripps (#28) , Harvey Mudd (#15), Pitzer Colleges (#49)
Occidental College (#36)
Not bad for a sunshine city. Maybe LA can be number one in the sunbelt. Its hard for any city to compete with cities with Ivy Leagues. Chicago is good in my opinion too, Northwestern, University of Chicago, etc..
Also, it is a graduate school, but University of California San Francisco is one of the best graduate schools and a especially good medical school. That should maybe be added to SF's belt.
