10 Satellite College Campuses With Impressive Reputations All Their Own
When we think of big-name schools, rarely do we jump to considering their satellite college campuses (in fact, it could be said that a lot of people don't even know that some schools have satellite branches). But often, these major/better-known locales are just one piece of a very large puzzle. Branch campuses and satellites, whether a stone's throw from the main campus or halfway around the world, can be quite accomplished in their own right, leveraging their smaller sizes and particular varying locations to offer college experiences the flagship can't match, i.e. cultural integration or location-specific majors and programs. The following ten schools have developed renowned enough reputations to pull themselves out of their big brothers' and sisters' long and expansive shadows.

10 Satellite College Campuses With Impressive Reputations All Their Own

Over 2,600 miles from Pittsburgh, this CMU campus in Mountain View, California, is surrounded by names like Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo. The campus has made a name for itself in several areas, least surprisingly in tech research like that done in the Mobility Research Center . But the branch is also a noted social good practitioner, launching the Disaster Management Initiative to support new solutions for crisis management, and developing a tradition of fence painting to raise money and awareness for worthy causes.
