1. Bethesda, Maryland
In this city in the Washington, D.C., metro area, 83% of residents over 25 have a bachelor’s degree — that’s 50% more than the national average of around 30% — and over half of residents also have a master’s degree. A big reason for all of the higher education: The area is rich in biomedical jobs at the headquarters of the National Institutes of Health.

2. Potomac, Maryland

A whopping 88% of residents are high school graduates in Potomac, one of three Maryland cities in our top 10. Meanwhile, 1 in 10 residents in this city have a doctorate and almost half have earned their master’s degrees. The city’s proximity to Washington, D.C., allows workers to commute to jobs in the capital. Nearby Montgomery College provides classes and training for students at its Workforce Development & Continuing Education program.

3. Wellesley, Massachusetts

Almost 90% of Wellesley’s residents have a high school diploma, and 83% have a bachelor’s degree. As the home of Wellesley College and Babson College as well as the highly regarded Wellesley public school system, it’s clear that education is a top priority in this city.

I was in New York one time and witnessed a bus hit a NY *****, the scenes were shocking, I was thinking someone call the emergency services and save this *****. The emergency service responded to the scene really quickly, which was really great to see. They rushed to the ***** and I heard one of the paramedics say 'oh my god this is bad, the timb got a scuff mark' and took off the timb and checked it's pulse and started to clean it. Once they got rid of the scuff mark, everyone around me started celebrating and doing the P diddy dance. The timb was rushed to hospital for further checks. I was looking at this NY ***** in the middle of the street and it was like everyone forgot about this *****, he was just laying there with one timb and a durag, even the drivers were treating him like a speed bump.

The next day I passed through the same street and saw him still there on the middle of the street just laying there, only difference was that someone stole the other timb and his durag was gone with a group of rats mourning
