[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from the Deep South and my kid looked at William and Mary. It didn’t feel so southern to us. We got a more mid-Atlantic suburban vibe from it. It’s all relative I guess. [/quote]

We can all pick up on different vibes when we visit schools; but for purposes of OP's list, it's a [b]southern[/b] school.[/quote]

There is a difference between being “southern” and being in the south region of the US census.

Most people use cultural attributes to define “southern”, not just how the government rallies up the population. e.g. no one considers Delaware to be “southern”.

OP even makes reference to the civil war “south” which makes the census grouping even less relevant.

You are trying waaay too hard to eliminate certain southern institutions of higher learning from "the south" list because you don't think they have southern vibes. That's just your opinion. Quit trying to pigeon hole schools into your idea of what's southern and what's not. There's a lot more diversity to the south than you seem able to comprehend. [/quote]

No, I’m not. I only broke out 3 schools from the “south” list that no one (who isn’t tallying up the population) considers as part of the geographic south:
