This might be a tough one CDers. Name some cities where living there minus a four-year degree/graduate degree isn't looked down upon, if hoping to assimilate into the general population that is above average in that respect. I think most of us are aware of instances where there is a cliquishness attached. For benchmark purposes the US population average for a four-year degree is 38%, so cities above that would be a good narrowing point.

How big of a city are you considering? Any general region of interest?

Seattle and Portland aren't pretentious in that way. Just about bringing your own bag to buy groceries.

Agreed. Since living in Portland, I haven’t once been asked where I went to college. You generally won’t be looked down upon if you don’t have a bachelor degree or higher.

I find Portland very pretentious, just not about that specific topic.
