<p>well, I was familiar with directional as a state school that has “north/south/east/west/central state u” in its name. but I guess I had ignored the notion that directional means “serves a region of a state.” I also had somewhere in my mind that directional means “directs the students to the state flagship” ;+) So I don’t know what i was thinking.</p>
<p>WCU is a state school that serves southeastern PA, particularly montgomery, delaware, and chester counties, but it doesn’t have the north/south/… in its name and indeed students come from all over the state and region to go there. </p>
