[quote=Anonymous]Here’s the problem; in order to have a successful state university you need to be in a major metro location. This affects everything: the talent you bring in, the donors you attract, the ease of bringing in out of state talent, the prominence of your university on the international level. Private universities don’t have to deal with that, because they are state owned. Dartmouth is just as good as ucla; but ucla would not be as good as Dartmouth if it weren’t for the la location. Actually you can map the best comprehensive state universities ( that is, not just good at stem) by metro location of the top us metro areas. Detroit (Michigan) La ( UCLA) Chicago( Illinois) Seattle ( Washington) San Francisco ( Berkeley) A big exception here is Wisconsin; the state does not really have a major city.[/quote]
