<p>Just out of curiosity, if Harvard will move its campus to the state of New Mexico, would top students still go there? </p>
<p>I'm just curious if school prestige in America has something to do with the school's location.</p>
<p>Leave the Peoples Republic of Cambridge and head to a greater number of daylight hours, warmer weather? Heck yes. Well as long as we can bring The T and The Big Dig with us.</p>
<p>The Big Dig is over, isn’t it?</p>
<p>Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois’d be considered a great LAC if it were in New England. St John’s has a campus in Sante Fe, that’d be the only city that the uber-prestigious’d feel relatively comfortable in.</p>
<p>Part of a school’s prestige is its history, and location plays a significant part of history.</p>
<p>Harvard with cactus and tumbleweed? Hard to imagine…I say that location does play into prestige.<br>
Would WUSTL fare even better if it were in California or the East Coast?.. probably.</p>
<p>To quote Homer Simpson, “Oh, there’s a Newww Mexico”?</p>
<p>To the OP: Who told you? This was supposed to be kept secret.</p>
<p>Why not? New Mexico is a great place to spend four years during college.</p>
<p>Can the Ivy League be the Ivy League in a climate where there is no Ivy?</p>
<p>Not to mention the need for charming snowfall over the old campus. And all that stuff about history.</p>
<p>And shame to leave all that architecture to go to waste. They just couldn’t rebuild that stuff (if it was possible, Yale would have moved out of New Haven by now ;))</p>
