which lacs get the most name recognition

There is a huge regional difference in LAC name recognition. In the NE, virtually all of the aforementioned names are recognized. And throw in Kenyon into the familiarity pile in the NE. But when I moved South, many of these, or should I say most of these are unfamiliar to many, except, fortunately, Vassar. It has familiarity/name recognition,though many still ask if it is a girls school. Down here familiar names are things like Davidson, Elon, Sewanee.. not well known up north.

That's interesting, actually, as in California the reaction is basically, "What the hell is a LAC?" even with the Claremont Colleges here.</p>

<p>I guess it in a large sense depends on region.</p>
