Directional State University was founded in 1853 by John H. Direction, a local pastor. Known for its strong programs in the arts, mathematics, and sciences, the university attracts students from all fifty states and over thirty countries. The university's mascot, the Arrow, helps point student-athletes toward victory each year.

This. As was investigated in the book Paying for the Party, an expose of Indiana University, kids from less connected families or those who are the first in their families to go to college are often better off at one of the non-flagship state schools. The professors and administrators have more experience working with students like them, they fit in better, it is easier for them to become leaders around campus.

People on this board are idiots.

"Directional" doesn't refer to geographic direction morons. These are schools that *direct* students, i.e. Most are kinda dumb and did shitty in high school. They don't know what they want to do with their lives and need a lot of hand-holding. Also, most focus on trades like IT, computer tech, nursing, dental hygiene, paralegal, medical assisting and education rather than the humanities, social sciences and pure sciences taught at better schools.

Most state public school systems have a flagship and then other branch schools.

Flagship: BAMA (University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa)

Directional: university of Alabama at Huntsville

You are completely wrong. Directional universities have Cardinal directions in their names. The example you gave perfectly demonstrates how stupid you are being. UAH is an ABET accredited engineering school. I am sure it is news to their aerospace engineering students that their school is for retards.

It is not like this is an official term. That is the commonly accepted definition. Name a school that is a directional state university that doesn't fit that criteria. The poaster above listed a school with an ABET-accredited engineering school and physics and philosophy departments. But curiously no dental hygiene and vocational training for retards courses.
