<p>yep, 4200 colleges in the US.</p>

<p>According to Princeton Review's "The Best 351 Colleges" published in 2003, there are about 3500 colleges in the US.</p>

<p>There is probably some disagreement on the low end about what constitutes a college and what doesnt. Is a truck driving academy a college or not?</p>
