And various other career-oriented and private institutions.

These are mostly artsy-fartsy colleges which hand out degrees no employer values, unlike a UC engineering degree or a Xavier MBA.

Please believe me, crystalblue, when I tell you to look at much more than "the facts" when comparing/contrasting these two Ohio cities. Sure, Cincinnati and Columbus are two similar-sized metro-areas, etc., but they are as different from each other as apples and oranges, or day and night. Each city thrives with a dynamism all its own, which in turn, will attract you to it in ways its counterpart cannot. Both of the cities are going places; they're just not going to the same place. Good luck in your search!

And I get the other information from this board. This will have to do til I can make a trip. Its all in a few years time anyway.

Although, I will probably take a place where I can get a job...

Doesn't matter. Perhaps one day they will be combined, but as of now, they are not designated as a combined metro.

I'm not using the brookings summaries, I'm using the brookings numbers. A reasonable person can make different conclusions from brookings than brookings does itself. Statistics and interpretation of those statistics are equally important and completely separate things. Gathering data and deciding what it means are two different activities. No statistic speaks for itself.

You really need to learn how to push the "Quote" button. Otherwise, no one has any idea who you're responding to or to what point.

The point, since you missed it, is that Columbus has many more institutions of higher education than Ohio State, as you had previously claimed.

No, you missed my point. Columbus only has 1 institution of higher learning that provides students with an education level beyond another 4 years of high school.

Cincy has: UC, Xavier, NKU, Thomas Moore

Columbus has: Ohio State
And Mount St. Joe's, and Miami, and Antonelli, and the Art Academy of Cincinnati, and Cincinnati Christian University and my personal favorite: the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science
