What should be the scope of this category?

[edit]

User:MusicMaker5376 keeps on reinserting Villanova into this category, despite the fact that Villanova is not located in the city, and no other schools outside the city (e.g. Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, Widener, Arcadia) are included in the category. SHould this category be restricted to universities and colleges located within city limits, or should it have a broader scope? If a broader scope, what should that broader scope be? To include Villanova and no other schools outside the city seems completely indefensible, but where ought the line be drawn? If we are talking metropolitan area or urban area, the University of Delaware is located in both, but I doubt anyone really thinks it should be included in the category. It seems to me the category has a specific meaning, and there's really no reason to include schools not located within city limits. john k (talk) 08:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
