[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably not Penn, but Philadelphia drags down Drexel and Temple due to their location.  Baltimore certainly drags down Johns Hopkins.

Conversely, Boston props up Boston University and Northeastern, while New York props up NYU and Fordham, but not necessarily Columbia.

There are a lot of mid-sized schools in depressing towns in New York and Pennsylvania that would have higher profiles if they were in nicer areas either in New England or the South.  Hobart/William Smith, Bucknell, and Washington & Jefferson come to mind. [/quote]

If temple and Drexel were in central pa an not in philly they would be less desireable.

Temple and Drexel are aided by Philly location [/quote]

Maybe Im biased by the fact that I grew up in Philly suburbs but +1 to this.  Although Bucknell gets is a top choice from the private school set despite being a college/prison town and not much else. We visited with DD#1 and I thought it was just a big boarding school that would get mighty small by senior year.  [/quote]
