<p>Here in North Carolina, Oxford and Cambridge are very well known to the general public, probably as well known as any of the Ivy League universities. A number of NC college professors, from the most prestigious universities to the smallest, more obscure colleges, have graduate degrees from Oxbridge. And, yes, St. Andrews is quite well-known as well. However, that preceded Will and Kate. There was a large migration of Highland Scots to eastern NC in the 1700’s, and their descendants in Scotland County founded a college that is now known as St. Andrews University.</p>
<p>Among more academically-minded people, Durham University is also very highly regarded. It is not well-known among members of the general public, though, except for Harry Potter fans.</p>
