The American Institute for Economic Research put out its 2009-2010 college destination rankings today (hat tip to the Post), and D.C. was named fourth most desirable for college students on a list of large metropolitan areas in the country, ranked behind only New York, San Francisco and Boston. The news that D.C. is a top college destination comes as no big surprise to us. Not only does the area have a large number of desirable universities and a high percentage of college students compared to the overall population, it also has a large number desirable post-college jobs, making the city quite frankly (in our minds) a smarter choice than places like San Francisco or New York this particular year.

Losing to San Francisco is a little sad given that there aren't any high caliber undergraduate institutions in the city of San Francisco
OnlyatBrandeis,
Give these guys a little credit. I'm sure San Francisco's ranking is due to the presence of Berkeley and Stanford in the Bay Area and not Golden Gate U, New College and Cal State SF. And if by "high caliber" you really mean high caliber, there is really only one such school in DC.

Although the University of the District of Columbia is certainly a world-class institution, Georgetown is no slouch either.
