[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to US Census region designation:

Princeton, MIT, Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, UPenn, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Brown,  Dartmouth, Columbia, NYU, Tufts, BU, Northeastern, Rutgers

South: 17 universities
Duke, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown,  UNC, UVA, Vanderbilt, Emory, Georgia Tech, Rice, UT Austin, Florida,  UMD, Georgia [William & Mary, Texas A&M, FSU, Wake Forest are all tied at 51 and are technically #51]

Midwest: 6 universities
UChicago, Northwestern,  Notre Dame,  Michigan,  WashU, Illinois

West: 10 universities
Stanford, CalTech, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, UCI, UCSB,  UCSD, UC Davis, Washington

The south is the future of academia in America.

LOL. No. And while "south" on a map, I would not count JHU, Gtown, UVA, UD, W&M as "southern" schools. If you're saying they are, you've obv never been to a true southern school.[/quote]
I wouldn’t consider Duke a southern school either. It's a great school that geographically is in the south but in no way is it a "southern school."[/quote]

It's amazing how hard some of you are teying to pretend certain schools aren't southern. Yes, like it or not, Duke and Emory are southern universities. [/quote]

+1
The pretzel-twisting is comical.  If a school is geographically in the south, it is a southern school.  And to the PPP:  UVA, W&M, VT and yes - Georgetown, are all considered southern schools.  Georgetown is more mid-Atlantic but in no way is it considered the northeast.  [/quote]

There is no planet but yours where Georgetown is considered a southern school.[/quote]

Assuming you live on the same planet as the federal workers at the census bureau, you need to accept the fact that Washington DC is considered to be located in the south, as is the state of Maryland. When those responsible for that information change their minds, then we can all reconsider Georgetown's location. For now, it's in the south. [/quote]

Exactly.  [/quote]
