Is the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Seminary in Brookline a distinct institution from Hellenic College? If so, it may be appropriate to list it separately. Chonak ( talk) 03:49, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Art Institute of Boston is now part of Lesley University.
The NEASC web site lists a few schools not on this list: Longy School of Music, Southern New England School of Law, and MGH Institute of Health Professions. Chonak ( talk) 19:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I notice that there is a Category for "Defunct universities and colleges in Massachusetts". Can we add a link to that page? I think that would be better than including defunct institutions here (e.g., Bradford). Chonak ( talk) 23:06, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
The classifications of institutions are not stable yet; just the other day I changed Harvard from "Masters college" (plainly wrong, IMHO) to "Research university" and corrected a few other entries. I recommend a close review of the details of the page to ensure its quality. Chonak ( talk) 02:53, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Enrollment figures on some of the colleges' websites (and in some of their WP articles) does not agree with data available at the US Dept of Education "College Navigator" site. In some cases, college figures are including students in non-credit courses; in some, they may be counting students at campuses located outside Massachusetts. For lack of a consistent standard, I propose that this article present data from College Navigator whenever it is available, unless there is some other similar source of data -- perhaps the College Board? Chonak ( talk) 19:53, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Maybe it's just me, but most of these "type" classifications seem bogus. Dean is listed as "baccalaureate" even though most of its students earn an associate's degree. Lasell is listed as a "master's college" even though it only offers two master's degrees. Suffolk is listed as a "special-focus institution". None of these sound right to me. The original list didn't include "type", so it must be the work of the editor who made the sortable list. The list uses ref with a U.S. Government site as a source, and there's a column to the far right called "ref" that looks like it's just a link to each school's website. So, while my first instinct was that none of it "sounds right", I also checked the Government website and some institutional sites and confirmed IMHO that the information here doesn't seem to match up properly. And I certainly don't think the column to the far right with links to institutional websites qualifies as a "ref" column. Feel free to weigh in, fellow editors. I'd like to hear others' thoughts.

Should SNESL be moved to the "closed institutions" list or retained as University of Massachusetts School of Law? My understanding is that it is part of University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. -- Chonak ( talk) 02:10, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
The opening text to this article says that Clark is a Jewish institution. Can anyone confirm that? -- Bistropha ( talk) 05:48, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
It's a duplicate of the article and does not really belong separate. Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 07:09, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
No one has said anything in three months, so I am going to close this as an uncontroversial move.
