TECHNICALLY, the state of Maryland is south of the Mason Dixon line so I do consider it in "the South" as far as geographically.
HOWEVER, when I think of "the South" and Southern hospitality, I DO NOT think of Maryland as being a part of that.
And, being a born and raised Washingtonian, and a graduate of the UMD, I don't think I went to a southern school.
And, I think UMD is fantastic in everyway.
Though, I think the greek system is very competitive (or it was when I was there) so there is a bit of "the south" in that aspect I think.
