Below is a list of universities that I have compiled from
people who posted about "shitty (educational) dealers"
There were several reasons given about this, ranging from
being unfamiliar with the NeXT, to I can give a damn about
NeXT's - I will sell only Mac's and IBM's.
The bottom line is that these university campus computer
sales reps, are not promoting the NeXT product line, and
try to confince you that the only computer worth buying is
a Mac or IBM. For NeXT to do better in their university 
sales, these reps should at least acknowledge that NeXT
is a quality machine and should be looked at when making
a decision on which machine to purchase.

Bad reputation:
Washington State University     Brown University
University of Washington        University of Arizona
Berkeley                        University of Rochester
University of Maryland          Brigham Young University
Stanford                        University of Pittsburg
Penn State                      North Carolina State University
Rice                            Universtiy of Oregon
University of Wisconson         Case Western Reserve University
Notre Dame                      San Jose State University
University of Hawaii            New Mexico State University
University of Missouri          Duke
University of Calgary           Harvey Mudd College
Colorado State University       University od Colorado-Boulder

The list below, is a list of schools that I have recieved
outstanding and glowing reports on their enthusiasm with
supporting NeXT products. 

Good schools:
University of Illinois          University of British Columbia
MIT

Is there an interest for a numerical differential equation solver
program on the NeXT ?
