Bethesda residents can pride themselves as being the most edjucated in the country, and probably also in the world. The community outside Washington - where we live - was named as the "most-edjucated small town" in the United States by Forbes.com. Bethesda, with a population of 56 842, have the highest percentage of residents with a advanced degreees in the country. 51.5% of the residents over 25 years earning master or doctorate degrees.In December Bethesda and nearby areas were ranked top of Self Magazine's 2009 list of America's Best Places for Women.
Why so high level of education here? In Bethesda there are plenty of huge national and international research centras, such as the NIH (National Institute of Health). Many of the international people coming to work at international institutions like the IMF and World Bank also prefers to live in Bethesda. So do we.
