<p>In Alaska there is a “College Fjord” filled with glaciers named after each of the Ivy League and Seven Sisters schools.</p>

<p>In the Colorado Rockies’ Collegiate Peaks Wilderness there is a range with a Mt. Harvard, Mt. Yale, Mt. Princeton, Mt. Columbia and Mt. Oxford.</p>

<p>Can anyone think of any other examples? I know I’ve seen neighborhoods with Ivy League street names…</p>

<p>on the southeast side of Stanford, jus outside the campus, there are several streets named, harvard, columbia, cornell, yale, along with amherst and more. there are parallel to each other too, which is sort of weird. heres a link to the map. just zoom in to see the names and move west to see stanford.</p>

<p>Near me, going towards the freeway, there are streets named after suburbs in Los Angeles (San Fernando, Burbank, San Bernardino, Riverside, Pasadena…). It’s really weird.</p>

<p>My uncle lives in a 50’s subdivision where all the streets are names of colleges…this is why I always get Wellesley and Wesleyan confused because one of them is the street you turn on to get in, and one of them is the street he lives on.</p>
