[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The very good state schools on this list need no introduction.  Most people think William and Mary is a private college because the school apparently does a terrible job of selling itself.[/quote]

But William and Mary is perhaps more like some of the Ivy League schools (Dartmouth, Brown, Princeton) than the others in that it is similar in size (# of undergraduates), residential nature, and history.  Most of the others, although fine schools, don't have those things in common.  They are probably closest to Cornell.[/quote]

I don’t believe anybody other yourself would be dim witted enough to group Cornell with UVM, Miami of Ohio, etc.[/quote]

You are quick to insult and slow to read for context.  The comment was about size of undergraduate enrollment and residential nature.  It was not about relative prestige.  For example, Harvard has 6,800 undergraduates and 98% live on campus. Yale, Princeton, Brown, and Dartmouth are similar in size and residential nature.  Penn and Columbia are slightly larger.   Cornell has 15,200 undergraduates and 52% live on campus.  The "Public Ivies" are typically much larger.  Berkeley is about 31,000 undergraduates with 27% living off campus.  Miami of Ohio is clearly less prestigious than Cornell or Berkeley, but it is similar to Cornell in that it has 17,300 undergraduates with 45% living on campus.
