[quote=Anonymous][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.

OP's "the south rises" wasn't in ANY way referring to the Civil War, you twit.  She was talking about the rise of southern universities - and she's absolutely correct.[/quote]

It's a phrase that refers to the post civil war tensions. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with American history, tw@t.

Wow.  Your post speaks volumes about you.  And yes, of course I'm familiar with our Civil War history and post-Civil War tensions.  Grouping universities by geographical region has *zero* to do with that, as much as you would love to argue otherwise.  It's too bad you're utterly triggered over a silly expression.  [/quote]

Stop being obtuse, tw@t. The phrase "the south rises" refers to the post civil war tensions.
