[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, and UMD are really not considered South in any sense other than weird civil-war era metrics, which judging by the title of your post is your thing.

Ask most people to put these schools in buckets and they're gonna say 19 are NE and 14 are S. [/quote]

But Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, UMD, and UVA aren't exactly northern schools either.

If there are only four boxes - North, South, Midwest, and West - I'd put them in the South box.

The Mid-Atlantic is the forgotten step-child. And there is no box for them. Compared to New England, the DMV schools are very much part of the Southern world.

So OP is correct.

New England has the advantage of history. But after 1800, besides MIT and the Boston schools, all the energy is elsewhere. [/quote]

I'm starting to believe some of you aren't even from the States. References to the 19th century, the Mason-Dixon line, etc...  maybe put your concise guide to US History down :lol:[/quote]
