Matt’s right - Manhattan College - home of the Jaspers and Alma Mater of Rudy Guiliani, among many other notables, is indeed not in Manhattan but rather Riverdale,NY a/k/a Da Bronx. It started out over 150 yrs ago in the Manhattanville section of Manhattan (NYC) and kept the name when it moved. Also filmed there, was the movie version of Six Degrees of Separation” with then budding star Will Smith along with Stockard Channing and Donald Sutherland. Its Quandrangle (the same one that Russel Crowe runs across in A Beautiful Mind) was depicted as being one of the Ivys (I forget which one) as well as its computer center.

Uh, Manhattan College (#14) isn’t in Manhattan. It’s in the Bronx. (Riverdale to be more specific) Yeah yeah, it makes no sense and I have no idea why it is like that, but that’s that…

Drumline at #11, are you kidding? Parts of A Beautiful Mind WERE shot at Princeton. And the Harvard Square scenes in Good Will Hunting make sense, because the girlfriend is a Harvard student.

This is such a stupid article. Why don’t the people that run this stupid website do an article on something interesting? They should just show up skirt shots of chicks in college, now that would be interesting.
