while the rust belt certainly isn't america's "education belt", it's no slouch in the higher education department. in addition to some of the better public universities with the big 10 giants (U. of Michigan, U. of Wisconsin, U. of Illinois, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, etc.), the region is also home to some top notch private universities as well (U. of Chicago, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Cornell, Washington U., Carnegie Mellon, U. of Rochester, Case Western Reserve, Syracuse, U. of Pittsburgh, etc.).
