Welcome to the map the Volunteers and coming with them we have new leaders - CMU back in control along with the Sun Devils and Jayhawks getting on the map.
Now we go to Eastern PA - objectively the 2nd best place to attend school behind Boston (though subjectively the first!)
[1] Villanova - obviously
But St. Thomas in early Spring is quite a landmark to be proud of staring down Lancaster. Truly the City on the Hill.
[2] Lehigh - My backup choice and team for basketball video games. The City on a Mountain!
[3] Temple - I used to despise them, but they have become my favorite rival. Probably the best urban campus in the country. Despite being in the middle of a city, there are few signs of it.
--
[4] Penn - The Palestra - the "cathedral of college basketball" should be enough, but gotta love Jon Huntsman Hall
Trump makes it more neutral though, haha. Ultimately a bit too urban despite being bunched with other colleges. Still pretty strong ranking of course. (The football stadium will literally collapse if they become decent again.)
[5] Haverford - Honestly, the top three schools are outstanding campuses but they may just fit my esoteric tastes. Haverford is just like VU, but with so much open space (and a lake!). Adds beautiful landscaping to its beautiful architecture. Probably the most stereotypical college campus in a very good way.
--
[6] Lafayette - Only root for them if Lehigh is struggling for the good of Coal Country. Otherwise - Mountain Hawks for me!
--
[7] La Salle - Root for them because Philadelphia, but it just feels ridiculously far north.
[8] Drexel - Nice location but way too urban. I'd just go to Penn at that point.
--
[9] Millersville - No offense to all the board members associated with it, but WAY too far west for me! I think West Chester is too far from the coast. Lancaster is the boonies in my world. Marauders is a sweet nickname though.
[10] St. Joe's - I used to hate them, but now I sort of like them yet hate them passionately if that makes any sense. The Holy War must never be lost is what I am saying.
--
[11] Bryn Mawr College - Bryn Mawr is the best census area on the Main Line. That being said, the college itself is pretty decrepit on the front lines and it houses more SJWs per acre than anywhere else in the state.
[12] Swarthmore - South Delaware County is basically Delaware, and Delaware is gross.
