Hey all, just for fun I was wondering, do any of you happen to know which universities have produced the most US presidents?
Sure! The universities or colleges that have educated the most U.S. presidents are Harvard University and Yale University.
Harvard University educated 8 presidents: John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.
Yale University also educated 5 presidents: William Howard Taft, Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.
Just note that some Presidents attended more than one university, so it really comes down to how you count! For instance, George W. Bush is counted for both Yale (where he got his undergraduate degree) and Harvard (where he got his MBA).
I hope this information fulfilled your curiosity!
