<p>There's also Samford in Alabama, and Univ of Conn at Stamford could be confused with Stanford. Once.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr and RPI have posed personal difficultly for me at some point.</p>
<p>I grew up 30 miles away, and still cannot spell Rensselaer without looking it up....</p>
<p>UM-Ann Arbor (UM-Ann Harbor)</p>
<p>WPI = Worcester Polytechnic Institute,</p>
<p>sometimes confused with Wooster...</p>
<p>How do you misspell RPI?</p>
<p>RIP? RBI? =P</p>
<p>I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet, but Juilliard is very tough to spell. Everyone always misses the extra 'i'. Having applied to Rensselaer, I'm a pro on that one now (had to triple check the spelling on everything).</p>
<p>My MIL saw a kid wearing a Juniata college t-shirt at the beach and later was positive that it was spelled Juanita, her oldest D's name.</p>
<p>John Hopkins/Johns Hopkins, Hahavahd/Harvard, RPI, lol</p>
<p>hampden-sydney college</p>
<p>hampton-sydney
hampton-sidney
hampden-sidney</p>
<p>For some reason I always add a d to Harvard, maybe because its so hard to get into >_></p>
<p>its not hard to spell though, its just a mistake that through repetition I have acquired.</p>
<p>I know someone who spelled "Dartmouth" as "Dartmuth", no joke.</p>
<p>LOL gadad...hehe</p>
<p>i've seen purdue spelled the same way as the chicken compay perdue a lot</p>
<p>Quinniapac and Susquehanna</p>
<p>No idea how to even pronounce them, let alone spell them...</p>
<p>Oh and Farleigh-Dickinson</p>
<p>I commonly see/hear:</p>
<p>Stanford--- Standford
Purdue--- Perdue
UW-Lacrosse--- UW-Lacross</p>
<p>I truly knew a girl in 9th grade who insisted that Bowling Green State was Bowling Alley State.</p>
