And us on the east coast dont think highly of UCLA and USC |
Harvard- Duke
Yale- Vandy Upenn- Emory Princeton- Rice Dartmouth - Wash&Lee Brown- Davidson Columbia- Georgetown I can't think of a southern private school for Cornell, maybe GeorgiaTech for public, or WashU. Not to say the southern elite are comparable to the ivys but if there was a magnolia league, this is how it would compare to the ivy league. |
Probably Duke and Vanderbilt - those are the top schools that come to mind when I think of Southern colleges |
Any school south of Pennsylvania which thinks plagiarism isn’t a big deal. |
When I went to UF, people called it the Berkeley of the South. |
I think in the South these days, Vanderbilt is generally regarded as the most prominent school. Nationally though, Duke is still broadly seen as the best school south of the Mason Dixon. |
WashU isn’t in the south. |
They’re all good schools. Duke is probably the best of the 4 but they’re all great so why split hairs. |

In the 60s Duke was the Harvard of the South.
Go to UVa. |
Duke may be the closest. But really, it is not that close. |
There is no such thing. |
I'm not saying you're wrong because this is my perception as well but...how do you actually know this? Are you just basing this on rankings? |
If you moved them to the South, say Alabama or Mississippi, they would lose their best professors, they wouldn’t get prestigious visiting professors. They wouldn’t get the top students. It’s not possible. It is a world class university. Think about the Florida public universities and their football obsessed student body. Move them to Vermont and applications would be down 90%. Because they are who they are right where they are. |
