[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never heard of W&M until after I graduated college and definitely didn't (and don't... sorry W&M alums, it's nothing personal!) consider it superlatively prestigious, as some people are suggesting. I knew of Virginia Tech due to the shooting. That's pretty much it.[/quote]

You sound depressing.[/quote]

I mean it's like asking people what they think about Colorado School of Mines and University of South Carolina. Why would you expect anyone outside of Virginia to care about these schools? Doesn't mean they're depressing.[/quote]

Why would I expect anyone outside of Virginia to care about a school of mines and South Carolina’s flagship?  Not following you.[/quote]

I'm talking about W&M and VT. Why would you expect anyone outside of Virginia to care about these schools, W&M and VT? In the same vein, I wouldn't expect someone outside of Colorado to care about the Colorado School of Mines, or someone outside of South Carolina to care about the University of South Carolina.

As a non-Virginian, why would you expect me to care much about W&M? And it's only natural that I only know of Virginia Tech because of the shooting (I suspect this is the case for many people across the country). Doesn't mean that I'm depressing.[/quote]
