NP. This is a very common opinion among Southerners, at least white ones. Big cities aren't the South or parts of Southern states. Nashville isn't the South, Charlotte isn't really North Carolina. Watch this humor video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5XIIc_abE8 he ranks Georgia at the 4th most Southern state and explains that it's ranked low because of Atlanta.

Nowadays, Virginia is not the South either

There are 5 schools ranked in the top 50 within 5 miles of Boston. More schools than the entire states of Kentucky, Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, Arkansas and Mississippi and Florida COMBINED.

How about them apples?

South: 17 universities
Duke, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, UNC, UVA, Vanderbilt, Emory, Georgia Tech, Rice, UT Austin, Florida, UMD, Georgia [William & Mary, Texas A&M, FSU, Wake Forest are all tied at 51 and are technically #51]

Midwest: 6 universities
UChicago, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Michigan, WashU, Illinois

West: 10 universities
Stanford, CalTech, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, UCI, UCSB, UCSD, UC Davis, Washington


The south is the future of academia in America.

So now MD and DC are in the south? 🤣 Hahaha! I love how people manipulate data.

A link was provided explicitly showing that according to the US census regions, yes, MD and DC are in the south.

They did not secede hence not part of the "south" in terms of rising

false. Anything south of the Mason-Dixon Line is summed the South.

Some very literal-minded twits here who clearly want to equate "the South" with the Civil War. This is just a geographic designation.

And, seriously, using the Mason-Dixon line as a meaningful marker in 2025 makes about as much sense as using the Maginot Line as a meaningful marker in 2025. Sure... it is on a map. It used to be a real thing. But that was a while ago.

So was the Civil War - yet some of you seem to think being "the South" means "being Confederate". It's beyond asinine.

Of course it is. Step outside of NoVA and you are in the south. What is wrong with you people?

Correct.

And all those schools are grounded in racist history and legacy admits.

Hopkins, Gtown, and UMD are mid-Atlantic/South. "Northeast"?? How silly, indeed.
