This is very much a gerrymandering joke waiting to happen, based on the title of this thread. An NFL corollary might be, "Dallas classified as 'East' for NFC divisional purposes."

Where I live, I sometimes had posed a riddle: I live closest to Boston University, Harvard is a short walk, and Georgetown University is farthest away, but still walkable. Where am I?
________
Boston University had a small ancillary campus, now closed. Harvard, with 16 plus acres and I'm guessing ten plus buildings at this point, is the second-largest landowner in Georgetown, next to Georgetown University. Harvard's campus is brick-walled and fenced, marked by several cast stone plaques saying Harvard University.

I wouldn't call Dumbarton Oaks a campus. It's a museum and residence for up to six postgraduate fellowships a year, mostly studying the humanities in the Washington area, and an additional number of short term (one month) study opportunities. www.doaks.org/research/harvard-programs/dumbarton-oaks-humanities-fellowshipsThere are a number of universities setting up shop in Washington as of late--some almost invisible (the University of Oklahoma, for one), but two are worth watching. One is Virginia Tech, which is invested in the Amazon headquarters project. The other is Johns Hopkins, who bought the Newseum building for $372 million to relocate its School of Advanced International Studies there. That's a shot across the bow at George Washington, whose School of International Affairs sits about 15 blocks away. GW's reputation has slipped of late and DC opens up a new avenue for Hopkins to spend all the money they get in research grants and/or gifts from Michael Bloomberg, who has donated a total of $3.3 billion to the school to date. Would Holy Cross ever consider a small satellite campus in downtown Boston to support pre-med/research initiatives? Maybe there's a gentlemen's agreement with the folks in Chestnut Hill that precludes this, but it would be an interesting move. |

With it's Washington Semester and the New York Semester Programs I could see HC establishing a "campus" in the form of living and small learning spaces in both cities. Funding is the key to making it happen.
And BC is not precluding HC from doing anything in Boston, so if the school wanted to establish something to support a medical research program in Boston the only thing preventing it is, again, the funding.
