[quote=Anonymous]Family/extended family of course yes, it would be weird not to.

Friends, I would say yes, as well. Meaning, if we are close enough for me to think of the person 
as a friend, it is highly likely that I know where the person went to college. It comes up in a variety of ways when you get to know someone.

Co-workers, yes 100%. Though, to be fair, I am in academia so probably everyone is interested in this part of one's background.

Neighbors... I just did a count in my head and I know just about every other house on my street. Why? Well, one is a huge Notre Dame fan. Another is an alum from the college my son attends. Another went to college in my hometown and, I guess because we were discussing colleges, she much have told me about her husband's. And so on.

Parents of my kids' sports teammates? Rarely, if your kid was on my kid's travel soccer team for four years and you have become a friend, then yes, I probably know. But random friendly rec team parents, no.

In sum, yes, I generally do know where people went to college.[/quote]
