Zoom out and put it on satellite view. You'll notice that is the only small cleared area in a state that is entirely forest

Obviously not the same state, but Washington State and the University of Idaho are less than 8 miles apart.

I could go on, OP is dumb
Lot of those states had one sort of erudite liberal arts college and one ag school type college. It wasn’t so important to spread them out geographically because each was attracting a different type student and likely in some ways made more sense to have them in somewhat close proximity.
Louisiana had one main school that incorporated both. I guess Tulane (THE [original] University of Louisiana) was sort of the erudite liberal arts state school until it went private when LSU then was made to wear both hats for the state.

I was just talking about that one with my buddy. Something like 9 minutes apart.

Very few people live in Eastern Oregon. It’s very remote. At least that’s what I gather, never been there.

Clemson and UGA are only 75 miles apart

You left out BU, which is better than any of those 3
DC has Georgetown, GWU, American, Howard plus UVA

I'm aware, genius. However it is a city subway stop.
I went to Penn. I've spent time with my friends at Georgetown and UVA grad schools, as well as BU, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia etc etc
Some people have actual life experiences

We have apparently ran out of stuff to discuss. Can we press reset on the OT like Nintendo or PlayStation? This is embarrassing.
