<p>What are some schools in the south that are comparable on the same level (academically and socially) as a school such as Penn State or Ohio State in the north?</p>

2

<p>U Florida, Texas A&M, UT Austin, Georgia</p>

<p>Agree with those being the four. Texas A&M, however, is it’s own little weird corner of the world socially. Socially, it wouldn’t come close to having the cultural and political diversity of Ohio State or Penn State.</p>

<p>It’s a solid school academically, but one should make damn sure that they fit in socially or they’re in for a rude surprise.</p>

4

<p>Virginia Tech, UNC, NC State, Univ. of South Carolina, Clemson, Auburn.</p>

5

<p>Clemson, UVA, VT</p>

6

<p>Virginia Tech, UNC, NC State, Univ. of South Carolina, Clemson, Auburn.
Clemson, UVA, VT</p>

<p>I’d put UNC and UVA a notch above OSU and PSU as peers of Michigan and Wisconsin.</p>

<p>I’d put the rest a notch, or more, below Ohio State and Penn State.</p>

<p>Well, Penn State and Ohio State ARE very similar…what I call “Second Tier” large state flagships (first tier being Berkeley, Michigan, UNC, etc.)</p>

<p>Amongst big public (W&M is too small) Southern schools:</p>

<p>First Tier
Virginia
UNC
UT-Austin</p>

<p>Second Tier
Florida
Georgia
Maryland (if you consider that southern)
Va Tech</p>
