<p>UPenn, NYU, College of New Jersey.</p>
<p>Dartmouth fo’ sho’.</p>
<p>No one i’ve talked to knows where Princeton is located.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There is a William Penn University in Iowa.</p>
<p>The average person doesn’t really GAS where universities are located, anyway. Why would they? They might be able to link Harvard to Boston and identify their own state flagship and that’s about it.</p>
<p>I second CMU
and also most, if not all of the top LACs</p>
<p>UPenn (mistaken for Penn State)
Brown
Yale
Duke
Northwestern
JHU
Emory
Vandy</p>
<p>Miami University</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There is a Berklee College of Music in Boston that is well regarded. Not as good as its neighbor, New England Conservatory of Music.</p>
<p>It’s basically all top schools without its location in its name.</p>
<p>Grinnell
Swarthmore
Williams</p>
<p>you’d be surprised, but most people i talk to have no idea where Stanford is (and i didnt know either before this website. lol)</p>
<p>clemson…?</p>
<p>rice…for some reason i thought it was in new mexico</p>
<p>All LACs other than Davidson (thanks to Stephen Curry and co.), Carnegie Mellon, Case Western, UCSD, UCD, UCSB, UCI, Tufts, Brandeis, W&M, U of Rochester, Bingo, etc.</p>
<p>I know people who don’t know “UC Berkeley/Berkeley” but know “Cal”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The word “California” should probably give it away.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Doesn’t mean they know it. The average American knows schools by their athletic programs.</p>
<p>Well UCSD is famous for academics, and the rest only become known for a while if they win the Big West and get an NCAA bid.</p>
<p>I’ll say it again: Dartmouth
New York? Rhode Island?.. this school is a mystery…</p>
<p>Salem State. 'Nuff said.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is in NEW HAMPSHIRE people. It makes me so sad that no one knows my state…or where it is sometimes. :(</p>
<p>In Massachusetts, unless you’re a stereotypical Asian, people assume “Dartmouth” means UMass Dartmouth, which is nowhere near as good as Dartmouth College.</p>
