<p>ucla has a lot of name recognition, obviously to practically everyone, but also to the average ignorant person.</p>
<p>most people haven’t heard of the top LAC’s, they don’t know dartmouth and brown are ivies. i know someone from another forum said their bro was taking a loan from a bank for school and the teller asked what school he went to, he said “brown”, and she was like whhaa, is that an accredited institution? sad, but true. but try saying “UCLA” to anybody and i’m sure they’ll know what it is.</p>
