[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire northeast lacks top notch public universities. And that is mostly due to history. The Ivy League has existed since the 18th Century. Most of the SLACs in the region arose in the 19th Century. It wasn't until fairly recently that a significant number of people even went to college. Until then, the Ivies and the LACs more than filled the demand for higher education. In younger parts of the country, the need for tertiary education arose as population increased. There is no Harvard in Texas. There is no Princeton in Michigan. States in the South, Midwest, and the West had far greater need for good public universities. There was nothing else. And those realities remain true today. All the good public universities are in the South, Midwest, and West. And the Northeast continues to suck at public education. That's not likely to change.
