Wikipedia? LOL, and you claim to be "educated".
If you do not know you are as ignorant as they come.
Vanderbilt
Sewanee, The University of the South
Belmont
Fisk historically black university
Maryville
Rhodes
Milligan
And others also
Note that the private schools have some of the lowest professor to student ratios in the country.
You are as naive and biased as they come.
You say:
Tennessee has some of the most prestigious universities in the country
You can't get it right with a list, so why can't wiki make a fucking list of colleges and universities in Tennessee?
Try Vanderbilt, named after Vanderbilt for giving them a million dollars to help heal the wounds from the Civil War and educate the stupid fucks! He never set foot in the South.
Try Tennessee State University and the University of Tennessee! Along with Vanderbilt these are not bad colleges and universities, but they aren't some of the most prestigious universities in the country. There are plenty of better state universities and plenty of colleges better than Vanderbilt, which is the best Tennessee has.
65% of Vanderbilt students come from outside the southeast as their applications for admissions are greater than most Ivy League schools.
Vanderbilt was tied with Notre Dame at 15th best university in the nation. You believe Notre Dame is a "mediocre" university.
