Not to be a grumpy curmudgeon, but the name very clearly states where it’s located and does not suggest that it’s in the “wrong state”. It’s Washington University in St. Louis (would you like GPS coordinates too?) not University OF Washington. Granted, it’s a mouthful and easily confused by people who have no idea, but it’s not as bad as Upper Iowa University (which is in WI) and Indiana University of Pennsylvania (?). In the end, the average Joe might not identify WashU, but employers and grad schools certainly will.
