<p>As a former PA resident I can confirm that Carnegie Mellon and Penn State are not in the midwest. ;)</p>
<p>I consider Pittsburgh and the Northwestern parts of PA to be midwestern. I do not see a difference between Pittsburgh and Cleveland.</p>
<p>Hmmm, well that is interesting. I would disagree but now that I think about it....heh I knew somehow disagreeing with you was a bad idea</p>
<p>I Do Not Live In The Midwest! (i.e PSU is not Midwest)</p>
<p>I can see an argument for CMU though, but still, Pennsylvania is MidAtlantic all the way</p>
<p>Penn State and Carnegie Mellon are east of the midwest and west of the East Coast, which places them in the MIDEAST!</p>
<p>Penn State is right in the center of PA, not the northwest; definitely not in the midwest. Pittsburgh is perhaps just barely in the midwest.</p>
<p>Penn( as in the state, not college) is mid-atlantic I thought. I don't like to divide states up when referring to their location. But we all seem to have different ideas. Someone on cc told me Ohio (my state) isn't in the midwest and I was shocked that someone didn't consider ohio to be in the midwest</p>
<p>Alexandre - most people familiar with the area would consider a rough dividing line between mid-Atlantic and midwest to be the PA/OH border. Residents of the 2 cities you mention see a world of difference between the 2, although, as one who has lived in both places, I see that they share a very similar history.</p>
<p>Maye it's the topography - with Pittsburgh being quite hilly with hairpin turns in roads and Penn State being in the very rough mountainous area along Rt. 80....there's not a mountain to be seen beyond Youngstown until you hit the Rockies. What Clevelanders consider good skiing, PA residents see as a speed bump.</p>
