When I practiced law in D.C. years ago, several of our partners had done their undergrad at Davidson – even back then, I didn’t get the impression that anyone hadn’t heard of the school. I think it’s fairly well known in the East (at least as well known as other LACs east of the Mississippi). Davidson alums are pretty devoted – never met one who didn’t rave about their experience (that includes my gen and the current – my son has at least a couple friends with old siblings there; we are sort of in their region).

Davidson regularly made the NCAA tournament (not every year, but pretty often) long before Curry attended, there is some national name recognition, even if folks aren’t completely aware of its quality.
