Duke, UNC, UVA, Vandy... sure. Good schools. Plenty of major research universities doing important scientific research (as long as Trump doesn't cancel their funding).

There's a danger to state universities in states with Trumper-simp governors. It was shocking to me how DeSantis quickly took over New College, which was an open and innovative college, installed a right-wing hatchet man as trustee, and started suppressing speech and student activism there.
But that could also happen in Iowa or Ohio or Indiana or any other northern state with a Trumper governor.
