Boston prides itself in having 35 colleges, universities and community colleges with total student population of 152,000 students. The student enrollment has grown steadily from 1989 to 2010, as the chart shows.

The total contribution to the Gross City Product is $4.9 billion and the effect is even larger, $ 6.2 billion, for the Gross State Product.”
