<p>It’s actually not that uncommon to see entire neighborhoods of college named streets anywhere in the United States. </p>
<p>So much of the US was developed as suburban developments and the builders often picked a “theme” for naming their streets. One popular theme has been Old English towns, so almost every city has a suburban neighborhood with street names like Sussex, Ramsgate, and so forth.</p>
<p>College town names have been another popular “theme”.</p>
<p>BTW, Claremont California (home of Pomona College) has a bunch of college street names…</p>
