<p>On another thread, Reidmc said “If Beloit were located in the Northeast, it would be Bates.”</p>

<p>Since so much of the focus here is on schools in the Northeast, I thought it would be fun to take off on this idea. So, take a school that’s not in the Northeast, and perhaps not even well known nationally, and say which school in the Northeast you think it would be closest to.</p>

<p>I’ll start with a few (feel free to disagree!!):</p>

<p>If Whitman were in the Northeast, it would be Williams. </p>

<p>If Earlham were in the Northeast, it would be Haverford. </p>

<p>If Pomona were in the Northeast, it would be Amherst. </p>

<p>If Knox College were in the Northeast, it would be Muhlenberg.</p>

<p>If Carleton were in the Northeast, it would be Middlebury.</p>

<p>If Lake Forest were in the Northeast, it would be Franklin and Marshall.</p>

<p>If Lewis & Clark were in the Northeast, it would be Bard.</p>

<p>Davidson would be Williams</p>

3

<p>If Pomona were in the NorthEast, it would be Swarthmore.</p>

4

<p>Yes, I can see that one Hubbellgardner! And, I think we can let more than one school be the same one in the northeast.</p>

5

<p>Duke would be Yale</p>

6

<p>Cal Tech would obviously be MIT. LOL! :)</p>

7

<p>Oberlin would be Wesleyan</p>

<p>U Chicago would be Columbia</p>

8

<p>I thought Chicago was the “Harvard of the Midwest”. What about Oxy?</p>

9

<p>University of Miami would be cold!</p>

10

<p>OK, NJRes wins, that was a good one D).</p>

11

<p>Emory would be Tufts</p>

<p>Wake Forest would be a Baptist Brandeis</p>

<p>Duke would be a conglomeration of Dartmouth, COrnell (the sciences) and Yale</p>

<p>Vandy and Tulane have no true counterparts, although Bucknell, Colgate, and Tufts, again come to mind in some ways, but Vandy is unique in some ways, and there is only one New Orleans.</p>

12

<p>And Evergreen would be …?</p>

13

<p>Evergreen would be Hampshire of course.</p>

14

<p>UMich would be Harvard…and Byerly will come and kill me, so I should vanish before he does.</p>

15

<p>Of course it is!!!</p>

<p>Well, they sell t-shirts that say Harvard…the Michigan of the east.</p>

16

<p>Byerly went to UMich for grad school.</p>

17

<p>I wish the Northeast had State Universities comparable to UVA and UNC. We don’t.</p>

18

<p>Byerly, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I am shocked!! Shocked!!
I thought Harvard was the only school he went to… :)</p>

19

<p>University of Miami would be cold because it would be Syracuse U. :)</p>

<p>I think Occidental would be either Hamilton or Connecticut College.</p>

<p>I agree with Garland - I think U of Chicago is closer to Columbia than Harvard.</p>

<p>And, I’d be tempted to say that Tulane would be NYU.</p>

20

<p>I go with Duke would be Dartmouth.</p>
