Cities Home to U.S. State Universities

Could just be because I'm salty that I only got 30/50, but 4 minutes seems pretty quick for this quiz to me.

Personally I think the quiz should be 5 minutes, and Mansfield should be an accepted answer for Connecticut

Could do with more time - we aren’t all Americans!

American here, this definitely needs more time. Great quiz now!

I finished all the ones I knew with 0:01 left. Definitely could use 1 more minute for this. The only seven that I missed were FCS (formerly 1-AA) schools.

Shout out College Park

Suny schools at Binghamton and Albany too. Has that changed?

Question, why is Penn State being used for Pennsylvania when there's Penn (University of Pennsylvania)?

Good quiz but the time is very tight. Seems calibrated for someone who already knows them all to just get through, which takes some of the fun of guessing away.

Maybe a little more time? You have to just punch them all in to finish in time.

Two comments- agree on making it 5 minutes, and accept "South Kingstown" for the University of Rhode Island since that is the town where it's located

Storrs is not a town. I admit I'm not from Connecticut and don't know what is commonly used to refer to that location, but Mansfield is the actual town that the village of Storrs is in. The highway sign even says Mansfield, not Storrs

For Arkansas, I would say that UAM (Univ. of Arkansas at Monticello) is probably the flagship. Never heard of the University of Arkansas, and Fayetteville only has a population of about 3,000 people. I'm pretty sure there's not even a university there.

Much like many of those before me, I am very confused with what makes a school the "the flagship location of its state university system" or what even constitutes a "state university system". How are the Universities of Colorado, Florida, Michigan, etc. the state university for their respective states, but the Universities of Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc. aren't? Also like some of the above, I will claim some ignorance to the topic, but I am still confused nonetheless.

Louisiana should have Louisiana State next to it. When people say Louisiana University they are generally talking about Lousiana-Lafayette.

"Flagship" is the term in American academia that means the main public research university of the state. It doesn't mean other schools in the states are inferior. 80 to 90 percent are called the "University of ..." There are some exceptions like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Louisiana, but that is generally because there was a private university started before the public one or demographics forced the issue. Most public schools with "State" in their name were started as teaching colleges generally for training teachers, agriculture or nurses. As the years went on and academia grew most state colleges changed their missions and added research components to their campuses and are close to equals of the flagship university and often surpass the them in certain fields. Absolutely no reason to get riled up about the designation.

I might request that Piscataway, NJ be accepted for Rutgers. Part of the main campus is in that town, as well as the football stadium.
