<p>Worst: Antioch, Earlham, Wittenberg, Samford, Ursinus, Furman, Hofstra, Pitzer</p>
<p>best: Georgetown, Cambridge, Furman - my friend goes there and they get to say FU at the football games how cool is that, Princeton - where the princes go ha, </p>
<p>worst: UPenn ( that school is depriving its state to use that name for a public college), anything A and M, every Loyola,</p>

Pomona College has the opposite problem. They think you meant Cal Poly Pomona, and you have to try to explain that you don't go to the state U but a far more selective place that they nevertheless have never heard of
