I'm sure there's more great ones in California but I can count 14 off the top of my head; I think all of them are nearly within 300 miles of LA too. 1. Caltech 2. Stanford 3. Cal 4. UCLA 5. Harvey Mudd 6. USC 7. UCSD 8. UCD 9. UCSB 10. CPSLO 11. UCI 12. CPP 13. UCSC 14. UCR

Idk what we consider the “Midwest to be” but here are some schools generally in the area that are good. Happy to delete any you don’t like. No particular order. ;) 1. Northwestern 2. Notre Dame 3. Wisconsin Madison 4. Ohio State 5. Minnesota Twin Cities 6. Carnegie Mellon 7. University of Chicago 8. Purdue 9. Penn St 10. Washington University St. Louis 11. UIUC 12. Case Western 13. Michigan So there are plenty of wor…

Cornell (ever heard of it?) is just as close to Columbus as UW-Madison is.

California has all that stuff because it’s literally further from SF to LA than it is from Columbus to DC.

Curious -- grew up near New Albany, but haven't been back in years. What street is it?

Beech Rd SW. Here's a link to the FB data center location: https://goo.gl/maps/UXrJePXbNNUZQG1H8

Thanks!

I was just going off of the “Midwest” versus distance.

Yea it’s a big state. I’d love to go off of distance though so we can include lots of other fantastic universities just to further drive home my point.

The midwest has some of the greatest engineering schools in the nation. I have been beating this drum hoarse for a few years now - but it's true. Specifically, members of the Big 10 conference are probably the best engineering schools conference in the world. Within 300 miles from Columbus (where you have Ohio State - Big10), you have Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, UIUC, Indiana, Purdue from the Big 10 along w…

No, Davis, Berkeley, and Stanford are all 350+ miles from LA.

This isn’t very charitable. When companies publish this sort of thing they’re generally committed (however tentatively) to within some reasonable percentage of the amount. Provided of course it makes financial sense after further diligence and the like.

Foxconn once said it would spend $10B building a factory in Wisconsin. Now the claim is $672M -- over next six years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn_in_Wisconsin We'll believe it when it happens.

Exactly. I'm less charitable because of Foxconn and how that story developed. Big companies promises tons of money and small/mid sized economies will give them huge tax cuts in exchange. In reality they build a much smaller plant and still take the tax cuts.

It's hard to understate just how driveable this side of the country is from Ohio. In about 7 hours one direction you are in Chicago. 7 hours another direction you are in Toronto. 7 hours another direction you are in NYC, or DC, or Boston. Stretch it to 15 hours or so and you can drive all the way to New Orleans, or most of Florida in that time, and anywhere in between. Anywhere east of the Mississippi really is seemi…

>Stretch it to 15 hours or so and you can drive all the way to New Orleans Having done this, I would recommend it only in urgency

IMO thats high for ohio with the wages seen, considering you can find studios at that rate or 1br for a few hundred more in the LA area.

LA has by far the worst wages-to-rent ratio in the entire nation so I'm a bit skeptical of you claim here. Also note that the other post said a new apartment.

You are welcome to peruse craigslist and fact check my claim yourself. I do note the poster said new apartment, that poster was me. It is still surprising to me that for the money spent living in Columbus, you can live in LA. Even if the acommodations are a little bit older in the LA example, it's not like you are getting a multibedroom apartment for the price of a studio in LA or anything. Plus minimum wage is $15 in LA and $9.30 in Columbus and more skilled jobs go up from there accordingly (SWE in columbus make like 70-80k probably). Here's a studio clocking in under $1300 in LA in Koreatown, which would be very convenient if you worked in hollywood or downtown LA:

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/apa/d/los-angeles-stud...

Apartments.com says theres like hundreds of studios available at this price range across LA:

> Between this, Ohio's shameful anti-LGBTQ laws Which ones specifically? I’d like to learn more and this is something that I’ll pester my representative about. For Columbus specifically in day-to-day life I’m curious what effect these laws have. We have gay clubs and actually a reputation as a “gay mecca”. In Columbus we also have the doo-dah parade, a gigantic, corporate sponsored gay pride parade, and lots of drag…

Ohio passed a law to prevent trans folks from changing their legal gender; a federal court has struck this down, but I'm not sure where that stands. They also have laws that allow medical providers to refuse treatment to LGBTQ. This is just from a few moments on Google; there's a wiki article with more info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Ohio

Why would a mentally disordered person be allowed to dictate his own treatment? That is ludicrous.

Regardless of your political stance on the matter, this is off topic. You should ask yourself why you feel compelled to thrust this subject here.
