<p>I have never heard of any maine school to be honest so thats why I put it but I think everyone has heard of UNLV. This doesnt really mean its good but just more well known</p>
<p>No one mentioned UMASS - Amherst as worst.</p>
<p>also what is the opinion of UConn and U Maryland?</p>
<p>Uconn has a great honors program that is almost impossible to get into.</p>
<br>
<blockquote> <p>...but I think everyone has heard of UNLV.<<</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>Yeah, but they've mostly heard of it owing to it's quick rise as a basketball power and its subsequent basketball player recruiting scandals.</p>
<p>Idaho ...?</p>
<p>UConn is fine. However that's it for "fine" state schools in this state. There are four Connecticut State Universities (Central, Eastern Western and Southern). They are nothing to write home about. I'm from Ohio where the state university system is, in my opinion, outstanding. CT is, in my opinion, a disgrace except for UConn...but honestly ONE state university that is respectible...not enough.</p>
<p>Hmm. The UArkansas schools really aren't the best, to say the least :(.</p>
<p>South Dakota only has The school of mines for any sort of prestige
South Dak St. is getting better, but I wouldn't want to go there</p>
<p>My vote goes for Wyoming...the state is mostly boring, and the unis arent good.</p>
<p>Miami may be private, but they give loads of 75-100% (when combines with bright futures) scholarships to in-staters. Strikes me as something in-between.</p>
<p>oklahoma!!!!!</p>
<p>I dunno...seems like people in Wyoming or West Virginia don't have much of a choice when it comes to schools that are in-state.</p>
<p>yankeegirl49, who needs UCLA when you have Berkeley?</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>Get your flagships right.</p>
<p>Drab...sorry, UCLA was the first that came to mind. Living in NYC all my life I don't know too much about the Ca schools.</p>
<p>U of Nevada-LV is weaker than U of Nevado Reno. Given all the casino revenue and low cost of living in the state, Nevada's colleges should be much stronger. The folks in Nevada won't even pony-up the money to establish a state medical or law school. Then again, why raise taxes for new professional schools when Nevada residents can attend California publics for a bargain price?</p>
<p>As for Idaho, it certainly does not belong on a list of weak state-supported colleges. U of Idaho does just fine academically, and a great picturesque location to boot.</p>

<p>This will come as surprise to the students at the Univ. of Nevada Medical School:</p>

<p>UConn does nothing to keep top students in state. My son can go to a lower tier private school for about the same cost as UConn. The one NMF from our school did not even get into the honors program and several good students have been waitlisted.</p>
<p>Oops. My bad on UN-Medical School.</p>
<p>It's fine, yankeegirl49, I was just kidding- there are essentially two flagships in the UC system, although Berkeley still is the flagship, even officially so.</p>
