It is has a nice, consistent look; very subdued and Methodist looking.

Their law school just accepted a paper I wrote for a journal they publish ... this makes me feel as though it's almost as good as being in a Harvard Law School journal.

I think you're correct that in the U.S. there are so many universities that cater to so many distinct 'market niches' that they do tend to have the characteristics of nations in a certain sense. Which college you go to is the product of so many years of student effort, parental saving and general worrying that it really has meaning down there. In Canada, it is getting to be a little bit more like that but in my day we pretty well all just went, without much thought, to whatever was closest. There was little sense that any university was any different than any other and in any case there were fewer post-secondary institutions in the entire country than you would find in some individual U.S. states.
