Directional School Project

Attempting to database and highlight all higher education schools in the U.S. that have a direction in their name, for no reason at all. Completed states: 🔗

[Directional School Project @DirectionalSchP]

Guidelines:

- Only public and provite not-for-profit schools
- Only 2 and 4 year higher education schools
- For simplicity, only searching cardinal directions (no central, upper, lower, etc.)
- School grouped by primary direction first (i.e. northwest grouped under north)

Sadly there are no directional schools in Delaware:(
