List the best known named schools where the average american doesn't..............

<p>…even know what state they are located in.</p>

<p>For example:</p>

<p>Dartmouth</p>

<p>Brown, Yale, Cornell</p>

<p>I get that for Brown all the time as well.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt? I have no clue where that is.</p>

<p>Emory, Rice.</p>

<p>Northwestern (Washington? Oregon?)
Columbia (from where I am, everyone thinks you are talking about Mizzou)</p>

<p>Northwestern.</p>

<p>Average person:<that’s in=“” washington,=“” right?=“”></that’s></p>

<p>Not sure why this was taken out of the “college search” area? I mean, that’s exactly what it’s all about! LOL.</p>

<p>SMU, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, Brigham Young, Notre Dame</p>

<p>Rice, without a doubt.</p>

<p>Lots of TV viewers watching the NCAA Basketball Tournament March-time scratch their heads wondering where the heck Gonzaga University is located.</p>

<p>WUSTL…</p>

<p>(yup, the average american wouldn’t know its in St. louis…= / )</p>

<p>Berkeley…“that’s in Minnesota, right?”…“is that in Boston?” (yeah, I know, Berklee)…“where’s that?..there are a lot of them, right?”</p>

<p>The average American would probably name the wrong state for Miami University.</p>

<p>Someone I know didn’t know what state CalTech was in…
Then again, he also thought “inauguration” was somebody’s name.</p>

<p>Brandeis, Harvey Mudd, Pomona…and all top liberal arts colleges</p>

<p>I thought Dartmouth was in North Carolina (what’s there? Davidson?)</p>

<p>Washington College</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Duke, UNC, Wake, Davidson.</p>

<p>i honestly didnt know where princeton was until about two/three years ago. i live in new jersey.</p>

<p>How about the California University of Pennsylvania?
Is it a west coast branch of UPenn?
Could it be an east coast extension of the University of California system?</p>

<p>It is in fact part of Pennsylvania’s public university system, located in California, Pennsylvania. And it was founded in 1852, which makes it the country’s oldest institution of higher learning with the word “California” in its name.</p>
