python - How do I format a string to create an iterable list?

Question

I have a string containing multiple institutions of the following form:

'Harvard University

Yale University

...

'

Where the collection of institutions are contained in a singular string and each institution is separated by a space of size larger than one. How do I join/format the string so that it can appear in a list like [Harvard University, Yale University,..]?

Answer 1

You can do

list_of_institutions = institutions.split("
")
