Apart from William & Mary I have never heard anything about any of those schools.
As for William & Mary I think that I have heard that it is an above average liberal arts college.
I could google it and the rest of the list, but that is honestly my level of knowledge of them.
Are they considered to be something special in the Southern states ?
- mindcrime 11y ago> Are they considered to be something special in the Southern states ? Special? No, why would they be "special"? The point is that they're fine schools; on par with good schools anywhere else in the country - but not necessarily "elite" schools like Yale or Harvard. But some people seem to have this "thing" of acting like having gone to school in the South singles you out as some barely-literate, uneducated hillbilly. This is far, far from the truth. That's all I'm getting at. That said, there are several Southern schools that help make up the original group of "Public Ivies"[1], including three of the schools named above (W&M, UNC-CH and UVA).
