I am talking about laymen. The average man on the street in the South will definitely know about Duke. Same for the Midwest and Northwestern, and [i]definitely[/i] UCLA/UC Berkeley for the average Californian.[/quote]

Born and raised in the Midwest. The average Midwesterner doesn't care about or even know of Northwestern. If they're a couch potato football viewer they know Northwestern has a mediocre football team. Outside of that, very little name rec let alone prestige to the average Midwest resident. Most Midwest folks might hold their own state's flagship in high regard but they don't give a flying f*** about Northwestern (or UChicago).[/quote]

I grew up in western Michigan and have family in Minnesota, UP and the Dakotas. NU most definitely has name recognition in those regions, even among “average” laypeople who went to their local state school, and among more educated folks UC is definitely known as well.[/quote]

No. People confuse Morthwestern and Northeastern all the time. [/quote]

Yeah no absolutely no one in the Midwest cares about or knows what Northeastern is. They'd just think you were misspeaking Northwestern.[/quote]
