Without a doubt. I mean Leland Stanford was an SF resident when he built it on his farmland in Palo Alto. And the whole division of the SF and SJ metro areas is silly IMO to begin with. Never in my entire life have I thought of the South Bay as a separate area; its a major component of what makes up the Bay Area. There's no clear dividing line separating SF's metro from Silicon Valley (its arguable for anywhere between Foster City and Palo Alto), and growing up on the Peninsula, anything in the 650 area code was all part of the same thing to me. Even Sunnyvale, where the 408 begins, is part of what I consider my stomping grounds. The south end of this metro area to me is and always has been the Santa Cruz Mountains. Palo Alto is an area I've always considered part of my own, and I've always lived within the SF metro area. Regardless, its all part of the Bay. Especially considering PA's shoreline runs along the Bay's water. Kind of part of the definition of "Bay Area," so its not really even debatable.
Yeah, seriously. you have Palo Alto/Stanford, East Palo Alto, Atherton, and Menlo Park, all next to each other, with no break in the urban fabric...yet Palo Alto and Stanford go to San Jose, and East Palo Alto, Atherton, and Menlo Park go to SF. MSA boundaries follow county lines, so everything in San Mateo county goes to SF, and everything in Santa Clara County goes to SJ, even though the entire bay is ringed by continuous development that doesn't operate based on arbitrary lines drawn on maps...and neither does anyone in the Bay see it as separate MSA's but rather one entire region...which is why in the case of the Bay Area, the CSA measurement is much more accurate.

It isn't a question of the MOST colleges and universities...the thread topic it "Which city offers the best institutions of higher learning?" I'm thinking New York wins this one.
New York - Yale (#3)...Columbia (#8)...NYU (#33)...Yeshiva (#50)...Fordham (#61)
San Francisco - Stanford (#4)...UC-Berkeley (#21)...University of San Francisco (#127)
I wonder if a better comparison wouldn't be New York and L.A.?
L.A. - California Institute of Technology (#6)...UCLA (#25)...USC (#27)...UC-Irvine (#44)...UC-Santa Barbara (#44)...Pepperdine (#56)...UC-Riverside (#89)

Isn't Yale in Connecticut? You're also missing UCSF (#5 Medical School) UC Hastings College of the Law (#39 Law School)

Yes, it's in New Haven. 80 miles away. I don't personally consider it to be an "NYC school" but some people (mainly New Yorkers) do. Also, if you're going to include Stanford with SF you might as well put in Santa Clara, too.
^ hell, if we're including things 80 miles away, then SF gets to include Sacramento too. Isn't 80 miles kinda far? If SF had been claiming Sacramento schools that are 80 miles away, everyone would be complaining...oh wait, that already happened, with UC Davis...which is only around 60 miles from SF (i wouldn't actually include UC Davis, because it's not in the Bay Area...just making a point). And then some people are complaining about SF including Stanford, which is only 30 miles from SF? right...
You don't even have to use SF as the starting point since the topic is "Bay Area." Davis is not 60 miles from Fairfield, which I would call the fringe. Plus, UCD was originally the agricultural division of UCB. Also, Santa Cruz is often included in the 11-county Bay Area (as opposed to 9), so toss in UCSC.

very true. The core of the Bay Area is pretty much everything ringing the Bay...not just SF...and like you said Fairfield is really close to Davis. Vacaville is even closer and that's still the Bay Area too.
