Grew up in New York. Until San Francisco and Italy, she seems to have only ever lived elsewhere for college. And, Ohio? Why? I mean, okay, I get wanting to get out of your hometown, even NYC teens can feel that. But she always seemed so in love with the city, I wonder why she wanted to leave? And, again, Ohio? And for what it's worth I grew up in Ohio.
shareI'm not completely certain. As I think it is a continuity error or an ambiguous Wesleyan. I think they technically went to the Wesleyan in CT, but in some episodes it is the Wesleyan in OH. If it is actually the one in CT, then Lily leaving NYC to go to school in CT, isn't a stretch as she could go back home regularly. Marshall going all the way to CT for school seems the bigger stretch. Now had he had a Basketball scholarship that would have made some sense. The OH Wesleyan makes the most sense for Ted, but the CT one also makes sense because of it having that "Ivy League" appeal, but not one of the actual Ivy League schools and fits pretentious Ted.
shareI never thought of that. I guess I just always took it as Ohio and ran with it. Maybe because Ohio makes more sense for Marshall for sure and maybe Ted too, as you explained. Interesting point which only perplexes me more, thanks :-P
shareAbout half the states have a Wesleyan University. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska ... to name a few.
