Huh.  On my DC block alone, we have current students at: Vandy, Tulane, Rice, Charleston and Clemson.

Which of these are the cheap ones, again?

Sounds like a lot philistines and kids frozen out of t15s

Vanderbilt and Rice are both T15 schools. They are both more highly ranked than Columbia, Cornell, Berkeley, Notre Dame, UCLA, Georgetown, Michigan and so on and so forth. It's not just rubes, philistines, and sorority girls who are choosing to go to school in the south. And I don't think the kids going to Duke, Vandy, or Rice are particularly influenced by TikTok. It is possible to get a very good education in the South.[/quote]

Vandy and rice are not t15s for all intents and purposes

They are massively underrepresented in boswash corridor and Sf/la

They are functionally fungible with t20-30 privates in the northeast [/quote]

I think this might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read here. You know it's not 1984 anymore, right? Times change. Your imaginary boomer list of top colleges is not relevant in 2023. Both Rice and Vanderbilt are listed as top 15 universities in every significant college ranking in the country. And this country is a lot bigger than Manhattan and DC, neither of which are very appealing to recent college grads today. [/quote]
