Yes. The largest universities are publicly funded. They charge a huge amount for tuition, room and board, as opposed to the absurd, thigh-slapping amounts the private ones charge. Columbia is part of an actual athletic conference called the Ivy League. The other members are Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania. IIRC, the last is the only university whose name makes it sound state supported, but is not. Indiana University is a member of a conference still colloquially referred to as the Big Ten, but which is now (again, IIRC) about twice that size. All of its members are public (state supported) except Northwestern University, whereas all of the Ivy League is private.

Thank you for this.
