Not sure why Philly is really getting into here with just one great school.
1. Boston no question not even a deabte
2. New York-Newark-Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA
#2 Princeton
#3 Yale
#4 Columbia
#33 NYU
#45 Yeshiva
#53 Fordham
#68 Rutgers
3. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside, CA
#5 Caltech
#23 USC
#25 UCLA
#45 UC Irvine
#55 Pepperdine
4. Chicago-Naperville-Michigan City, IL-IN-WI
#5 University of Chicago
#12 Northwestern
5. Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia, DC-MD-VA-WV
#13 Johns Hopkins
#22 Georgetown
#50 George Washington
#55 College Park
#82 American
Another case for DC ahead of Philly and San Fran is the amount of schools there that do not make the list of the best schools. Most of them inside the 55 sq miles of D.C. And of course it is home to the largest library in the world.

Philly and SF do very well with 55 miles, probably better than DC which is absolutely no sloutch
not to mention two from the NYC list within that range of Philly or others like Lehigh etc all well within that mileage

Philly probably gets a lot of nods from having such a strong all-around school in UPenn, specialty schools such as the Curtis Institute of Music, and some stellar liberal arts schools. I do agree it's just behind the top four you mentioned. I'm not sure about DC though.
I'm sorry its called a job and a life, not all of us have time to sit around all day posting over 13,000 messages. I don't think I have ever even made 13,000 wall comments on Facebook let alone messages on a forum. Which brings me to this.
You know, the "nostalgia" you have for education didn't prevent you from typing a run-on sentence and a sentence fragment there.

I have a nostalgia for good spelling, grammar and syntax, especially from people who have very high opinions of themselves based on where they live, or where they attended college. Unfortunately, your grammatical skills are not world-class.

Some of these schools in the CSA designations seem a bit disingenuous. I mean, if we are going to include Yale in with NYC and Johns Hopkins with D.C., shouldn't you include something like Notre Dame in with Chicago? And Princeton with NYC and not Philly? The lines seem to be drawn awfully thin.
For education capitals, maybe you should learn to read before you get snobby about it. If you think I'm bad then just wait till you get the chance to correct the spelling of the guy I was talking to in that post.
You wont be on his post because that's just how double standard easterners like you are. You lose an argument and instead of talking about the topic you make it personal, where I live, what I say, what I believe in.
NYC 3 (4 with princeton)
Philadelphia 2 (3 with Princeton)
Boston 2
Bay 2
Chicago 2
LA 1
Not surprising the top 10 are (NYC is a monster with 4 CSA schools in the top 10) The Boston to NY to Philly (with Dartmouth, Cornell and Drexel to these top 10 below) area includes 10 of the top 25
1 Harvard
2 Stanford
3 Columbia
4 Penn
5 Yale
6 MIT
7 Northwestern
8 Univ of Chicago
9 Princeton
10 NYU
