[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's because it has a high concentration of excellent schools and a good quality of life. Harvard, MIT, BC, BU, Babson, Wellesley, Tufts, Middlebury, Five Colleges, Bowdoin, Bates, Colby, Conn College, Dartmouth, etc. There's just a lot of great schools in the region. I don't think it's a bias, just a function of geography.[/quote]

Basically, wealthy not very diverse states that traditionally educated their elite.[/quote]

Not sure where you are going with this one. [/quote]

What's to wonder? It's why the New England area has so many colleges and universities. They weren't built to educate the poor and disadvantaged--more for wealthy prep school alums, and the area has always had very limited diversity. [/quote]

New England has WASPs of various descriptions, more variety of white ethnics than most of the country,  American Indians, Cape Verdeans, and many other ethnicities. Just because there are fewer blacks doesn't make it undiverse.[/quote]
That's a stretch. Diverse whites?![/quote]

Do we all look alike?[/quote]
