[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading the responses, I think not everyone is using the same definition for "Flagship."

Is a flagship always "University of X state?"   Or is "X State University" ever the "flagship?"   What about "Tech" (such as Georgia Tech?)[/quote]

Not always.  The Ohio State University is the flagship in Ohio and the [b]University of Ohio is a private college.[/b]  Same in PA with UPenn and Penn State.  I think a "Flagship" can be a state school that is intended to be the premier school in a state and that, in rare cases, there can be two.  Indiana University and Purdue University each function as a flagship in Indiana due to the division of subject areas, although if you had to choose between the two, IU would be the flagship.  UCLA and Cal Berkeley could be similar, although I am less familiar there.

Some are in big cities and some are in cities that became big (OSU in Columbus and UT in Austin are the best examples of that, probably).  [/quote]

Boy, lots of people wrong on lots of facts in this thread.

Ohio University in Athens, Ohio is NOT private.[/quote]
