I’d feel comfortable saying: the Dakotas, Wyoming, Oregon, Utah, Iowa, and Idaho are some that come to mind. Just think of states with low populations along with less than stellar educational systems, and for the most part the midwest will dominate this list.



Tonyt, of those states you mentioned, only Iowa and the Dakotas are considered to part of the Midwest. Every other state you listed is in the West portion of the United States.



1. Few of the colleges that most people call “elite private colleges” are located in the Midwest, and yet most students go to college within 500 miles of home, so it takes extra effort to find students willing to go so far from home even for the most famous colleges,



tokenadult, really? The Midwest has more “elite private colleges” in the U.S. News Top 25 (Northwestern, University of Chicago, Notre Dame, and WUSTL) than any region besides the Northeast.
