[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the PP also has wrong is assuming that UVA is the flagship. it is not. Virginia, by purpose, does not have a flagship. look it up[/quote] This. Virginia does not really have a Flagship. W&M is much older than UVa, if even smaller, and is similarly well regarded as UVa. VT is much larger than UVa, the best engineering school in VA, and is the land-grant university. There was an explicit decision made by the Commonwealth in the 1960s not to have a “UV somewhere system” analogous to California’s “UC system”, but instead to spin out ODU from W&M, spin out GMU from UVa, and to build up JMU and Radford from their origin as teacher’s colleges. Maryland (e.g., UMD at CP, at BC, at ES) and NC (e.g., UNC at CH, at W) went the other direction, copying the California model and also decided to have a flagship.[/quote]
