[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally, state schools in the Mid-Atlantic, the South, the Midwest, and the West Coast are much more appealing than the public universities in the Northeast - both for academics and quality of life. New England never really cared about public universities, and that's reflective in their state schools. States like Texas, California, North Carolina, Michigan, Georgia, Virginia and so on take real pride in their state schools. That's not the case in the Northeast. [/quote]

This poster has a point. I am from New England and did go to a flagship state school.  There are so many excellent private schools in New England which make the state schools seem a little less well regarded. We now live in Virginia and I was amazed when we moved here I was surprised at how many  well regarded VA schools there are and also noticed there are very few privates in Virginia. In New England each state has one good school and the others aren’t well ranked.  [/quote]

Massachusetts native and I agree with both of you. I don’t know if UMass will make a leap to a top state school. It certainly won’t be on the backs of the athletics program!

We had a lot of kids from my high school go to UNH and UVM over UMass. URI and UConn less popular. Maybe that was the North Shore bias?[/quote]
