I have noticed that in the northeast, the private universities dominate completely and the state schools are decent but not excellent (SUNYs). On the other hand, in the Midwest and west, it seems that the public schools are much better (Umich, UIUC, UW, UCs). What is the reason for this? Is it funding? Or is it based on who was there first (ivies were founded before publics in the east)
