America's Most Educated Cities

This is my first thread and I wanted to post something interesting so I went through census bureau's data and found out what America's ten most educated cities were. Some on the list I didn't even know existed. I only looked at cities over 100,000 people. HS is the percentage of 25+ pop. who completed high school. CO is the percentage of 25+ pop. that has at least completed 4 years of college. I noticed some of these are famous college cities.
