<p>VMT: Do you think it’s OK for people to bash the South and Midwest? Because I can assure you that happens a lot more on this site. The user base here is very Northeast-centric, which makes sense since as you say there is a huge concentration of people there and also a huge concentration of colleges and universities. Some of us outside the East Coast get tired of the disparaging comments about “flyover country,” not to mention the gross generalizations about corn fields, cow tipping, gun-toting bible thumpers, and so on. We have millions of people too. :)</p>
<p>@mythmom: Some of the East Coast colleges we looked at early in our search seemed much more Greek-oriented (and conservative) than we were comfortable with–Bucknell, Trinity, Union, and Gettysburg, to name a few. We tried not to make assumptions based on just the fact that a Greek system existed, but looked into whether it was residential and/or dominated the social scene. Oftentimes there was a connection to a preponderance of pre-business majors as well, which was something else we wanted to avoid.</p>
