Wait:
What do most people in the Midwest consider the most prestigious college? or What do most people in DC consider the most prestigious college in the Midwest? |

I've never even heard of those latter two colleges. |

If that's true, you are not an authority on colleges in the midwest. |

I grew up in the Midwest and went to Northwestern and have never actually seen the University of Chicago campus, but, clearly, the University of Chicago. I'm sure that Notre Dame is a great university, and it might rank higher than I think it does in all sorts of ratings, but it wouldn't have occurred to me till I saw this post to think of Notre Dame as being in the same class as these other schools. I think of the University of Chicago as being for extreme intellectuals, Northwestern as a school for bright people who to be corporate executives, Michigan as a fine all-purpose school, and Notre Dame as a school with great sports teams and great parties. |
