Message: [QUOTE="Husky68, post: 2953603, member: 173"] Maybe I was reading it wrong, but think the response was to the research institution part of the comment below: "Villanova is a research institution with, at least, a national brand (and 3 national championships)" It doesn't follow that the challenge to a comment about a school being "a research institution" is the same as saying Cincinnati is "a better school". Per the following on Wikipedia: [SIZE=6][B]Universities classified as "R1: Doctoral Universities – Highest Research Activity"[[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_research_universities_in_the_United_States&action=edit&section=1']edit[/URL]][/B][/SIZE] Main article: [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_I_university']Research I university[/URL] There are 115 institutions that are classified as "R1: Doctoral Universities – Highest research activity" in the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_Classification_of_Institutions_of_Higher_Education']Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education[/URL].[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_research_universities_in_the_United_States#cite_note-2'][2][/URL] This is a pretty high caliber crew of 115 schools. Include CIT, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale (essentially all the guys you would expect plus big public schools). Big East schools included: Georgetown. AAC schools included: Temple Tulane UCF USF Cincinnati Connecticut Houston Not saying anything other than as to a question of research activity this list of 115 pretty profile schools includes no Villanova, one BE school and seven AAC schools (and list excludes service academies).
