The soul of American higher education is probably a place like UCF or Utah Valley

Maryland Global Campus, Grand Canyon University, 10k community colleges, 2k small liberal arts colleges, directional state schools.

It's definitely a state school, probably a land grant state school, preferably a non flagship/"public ivy". Something like a Michigan State or Virginia Tech?

Virginia Tech? That’s a not a real place. You just made that up.

Unless I’m mistaken most college students are enrolled in state universities and colleges that aren’t “the flagship” but agriculture, technical and teacher schools that expanded their role.

Yes. The breakdown looks something like: 11% state flagship, 39% other public 4-year, 25% private, and 25% two-year schools.

So majority of four enrollees and plurality of all.

I think UCF and ASU are essentially the same place.

May I suggest UT-Arlington as an alternative. Big, diverse school, in a metro area but not in either of the main cities. UTA is America.

The soul of American higher education is probably a comprehensive, non-land grant public university that isn't in the power 4 conferences. Think Minnesota-Duluth, or Eastern Kentucky or UW-Stevens Point.
