Where the Senate went to college, in one fascinating map

Unsurprisingly, Harvard is the best represented college in the Senate, but only 18 percent of senators attended an Ivy League college.

Data compiled by College Raptor breaks down in one handy map where the senators from each state went to college. (But you might have to do some Googling to guess some of the logos!)

Harvard University is the most represented college in the Senate, with eight members. Yale University, Dartmouth University and Brigham Young University all sent four to the Senate. Stanford University, Georgetown University and University of Missouri all sent three, rounding out the most represented colleges list.

67 percent of Republicans went to college in-state, compared to 51 percent of Democrats.

And Rand Paul of Kentucky and John Boozman of Arkansas, both Republicans, are the only two senators without a bachelor’s degree, but hold advanced degrees.

Where did your senators go to college?
