<p>I am reminded that the majority (48/80) of Universities in the US ranked from 21-100 are public.</p>
<p>I again am impressed that California has 8 public Universities in the Top 100, and that Virginia has 3… quite impressive for its size.</p>
<p>It is also notable that 20 states have no presence in the Top 100. I hope they have reciprocity with neighboring states to get in-state tuition!</p>
