I've always wondered why some big state universities are near the borders of the state.
Auburn is in extreme East Alabama
Mississippi State is in extreme East Mississippi
Ole Miss is in North Mississippi
Clemson is in the extreme SW corner of SC
FSU is in the panhandle of Florida (although I know that's where the people lived in Florida back when the school got started.

Some are land grants so the state got the land free

In the case of Clemson, the land was donated to the state for the purpose of a college.
Edit: and you meant to say NW corner of SC.

Washington State and the U of Idaho are ten miles apart and a long long way from the major population centers of their states (though not too far from Spokane).
It is odd but they do make for some of the nicest, friendliest college towns I've ever visited. In no small part because they are so isolated.

We’re a triangle, there is no Southwest corner in this state.
