OT: Northernmost college in the lower 48?
I have the Michigan Tech / Nodak game on tv and I just wondered if Tech is the northernmost college in the lower 48. I checked google maps and it looks like houghton isn't even close. and for the smart-alecks here who will respond with lmgtfy, i did check there.
so does anyone know what the northernmost university/college in the lower 48 is?
Western Washington?
I think you are right. Bellingham is the northernmost city of over 50k residents in the continental US, and I cant come up with any other schools further north.
CollegeData.com's profile of Western Washington has the following under "Did you know?"
WWU is the northernmost college in the continental U.S.

the world will thank you Raoul whenever they google "northernmost college in the us"

Well, to be fair, Black Socks did come up with Western Washington first. All I did was take his lead and google "'Western Washington' northernmost" and found that CollegeData.com page on the first page of results.

One of the most perfect women on this misbegotten Earth is a proud WWU grad, although she roots for UW Huskies when it comes to college sports.
I don't know the answer to your question but all I could think of while reading this was "Tahoe is west of LA? Bull shit Snapple!"
Looking at a US map with latitude lines, the northernmost point of Maine is awfully close to the latitude line that divides US and Canada.
not only that but if you take the 101 north from burbank for about a half hour, you will end up south of where you started. after about 2 hours you will only have gone about 15-20 miles north
The roads must be pretty bad in Maine, huh?
101, burbank = socal
An already weak attempt at humor was just euthanized.
I live in Burbank - the 101 doesn't go through Burbank. It goes through Universal City and Studio City which are close, but not Burbank at all.
March 12th, 2011 at 10:00 PM ^
eh, its like 5 miles from the airport, and NOBODY knows where studio city is

Atlanta is WEST of Detroit.
March 13th, 2011 at 11:38 AM ^
And Canada is south of Detroit.
is practically in Canada so I would say that is the northernmost in the lower 48.
EDIT: Nevermind, obvious east coast bias is making me forget the western states that reach further north.
looks like Northern Idaho College is the winner . . .
Western Washington is still further north
The US/Canada border is actually closer than you think if you look at latitude lines on this map: http://www.amt.org/Multimedia/images/grid-na.gif
Edit: I am too lazy to look up colleges in these states
Fun fact: Seattle is farther north than Montreal.
I think you were the first poster to use "farther"
and the #1 result is this thread. if we solve this mystery, the world will thank us one day
"northernmost college in the us" has this thread as the #1 result
nook, but a nearby "extension" of the University of Minnesota is all I found (in Rosseau). I bet they have one heck of a fishing team.
is nearby in International Falls, if you're counting CC's.
Houghton appears to be much further north than it actually is in actual latitude goes. Many of the western school are further north.
Yeah, Duluth and Bimidji, especially Bimidji, are both farther north than just about any city in Michigan that's not Isle Royal.
This is the most interesting thread on MGo in months.

When is WLA planning to publish a series of seminal diaries comparable to Misopogon's Decimated Defense v. I-III or The Mathlete's exhaustive analysis of 4th down conversion probabilities?
<crickets chirping>
Whatcom Community College is just north of Trinity Western University, which is north of Western Washington.
For years I'd thought that Wossamotta U in Frostbite Falls, Koochiching County, Minnesota was the northernmost university in the Lower 48. A woman named June Foray (or was it Natasha Fatale?) told me that from a house in Frostbite Falls, you could see every other university in the Lower 48 from your porch. Guess I've been wrong all these years. Thanks for correcting my wrong impression.
isn't even the furthest north in Michigan. Finlandia College is right across the river from Tech in Hancock, Michigan.
Finlandia used to be known as Suomi College
March 12th, 2011 at 10:02 PM ^
I forgot about them
and it looks like there is a community college directly north of western washington, but community colleges really arent that much fun so im going to ignore them
March 12th, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Its a "Shipping Canal", not a river. I used to live in Hancock. I still have an 'FU' (Finlandia University) hat. I liked to pick fights with the douchebag who inevitably was earing a USC Cocks hat.
In hindsight, I think it only made me the bigger dousche.
Did you know the street signs in Hancock are bilingual: english and finnish?
That's freaking sweet! I want to move there. I have Finnish blood. I'm kind of glad my recent ancestors didn't move to the UP though. Except I am half-Canadian... but I kind of prefer that over the UP living-wise. No offense to anyone, I love it up there, but I probably wouldn't live there

Was a vodka. What is the favorite drink of the most northern college in the continental US?
<br>
<br>Probably beer......

The southernmost college next?
March 13th, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
Florida Keys Community College, Key West.
March 13th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
Saint Leo University on Key West, if we're not counting community colleges.

I think these colleges are quite hard to study at. I mean there are a lot of essays and my friends even ordered assignments on https://www.aussiewritings.com/ because it was the only way out for them. I don't judge such steps because I fully understand those people and how tired they are of eternal writing.
