Agreed, the location is part of what makes the school what it is.
To try and separate them is a pointless task.
This thread is just full of sour grapes.[/quote]

I think location can be really important if your kids want to do internships during the year.  THat's the appeal of Georgetown, GW, etc. 
Emory is very popular among sciency kids who want to work at the CDC.  Probably makes it a more appealing school than it might otherwise be.

I had a child who really wanted to work and do internships during college and that was clearly why she chose a school in a city rather than in the country.
And in retrospect, I think that if your child needs to be doing internships in order to get a job and they can't do them during the year, you can end up spending a lot of money
on things like housing for unpaid internships if you don't live in DC or NY, LA, etc.  (This is from a poster who doesn't live in DC.)[/quote]

Notre Dame being in the midwest and in not such a great town does not hamper its placements into internships and jobs.  Plenty of recruitment going on in Chicago, DC and other cities.  That's where the strong alumni base comes into play.  Go Irish.[/quote]
