<p>"The OP’s list is full of flaws. There are essentially five major regions in the US (West, Southwest, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast). I would also limit it to the top 5 universities. In my opinion, my list would look something like this:</p>
<p>M I D W E S T
1 University of Chicago, IL
2 Northwestern University, IL
3 University of Michigan–Ann Arbor, MI*
4 University of Wisconsin–Madison, WI*
5 Washington University in St. Louis, MO
Honorable Mention: University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign, IL*

<p>Sure…according to a Northwestern and Michigan alumnus. I think lesdiablesbleus’ list for the midwest is more accurate.</p>
<p>M I D W E S T
