	Am the only one who found UCLA being on this list surprising?

	cal should count for cal berkeley.

	Yay! Yet another reminder of my looming college apps.

	Surprised not to see Wasilla Community College on the list.

	Agree that Cal or California should count for Berkeley.

more surprised at the omission of Cal Tech. Guess those rocket scientists don't make much money.

	please make one for British Universities, or an International version :)

	Actually don't agree with those who suggested that Cal should count for Berkeley. I don't deny that it's a common moniker, but it could too easily hand someone an alternative answer. I'm sure plenty of people (myself included) go to type 'Cal Tech' and inadvertently get Cal. Doesn't seem like it's asking too much that people write out 'California' or 'Berkeley' to get the answer.

	i thought the same thing marcus, then I realized it's probably Hollywood actors and directors that make up most of them for UCLA and USC.

	@baconstud01 -- yeah, I got Berkeley because I was trying to type Caltech.

	You really need to accept "Cal" for California-Berkeley. The current format is equivalent to not accepting "MIT" for Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I gave up after on Cal after it didn't accept the most common name for the university.

	please accept "UChicago" for University of Chicago!

	GeoExpert:	Jul 12th, 2010 at 21:15 GMT		2 points
	Agreed the Cal should work. I thought that it might be an answer, but I did not try it after I wasn't interrupted in typing Cal Tech. Also, the word "Technology" is spelled wrong in MIT's name. It says Techonology.

	@tjconn: Ithaca is definitely not "ex-urban NYC." It's way upstate, as far away from New York City as Boston is.

	TeganX7:	Jul 12th, 2010 at 21:53 GMT		20 points
	I'm not surprised: Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Penn .... I am interested in where the other "Ivies" are. Also, I would be interested how this list would differ if it was broken down by "Billionaire by inheritance" and "Self-made billionaires".

	As a non-American I was astounded to do well on this; also, and only because I see "The Graduate" on a regular basis, I'm on the side of having Berkeley as an alternative to Cal or California...excellent idea for a quiz

	JakeA:	Jul 12th, 2010 at 22:20 GMT		3 points
	I typed University of California ...which is what the school at Berkeley is called...and it didn't count. That just seems so wrong.

	ross62681:	Jul 12th, 2010 at 22:34 GMT		7 points
	Cal

	geoffglaab:	Jul 12th, 2010 at 22:39 GMT		3 points
	technology is spelled wrong. It didn't accept my answer and that was probably why.

	Great quiz, i would also be curious just to see top "Millionaire Universities"

	i'm moving to california.

	I can't believe I didn't think of MIT or Cornell.

	CorneliusTree:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 00:00 GMT		3 points
	Surprised schools like Texas and Michigan weren't on this. For Cal, how about California, so you don't get it for Cal Tech?

	CorneliusTree:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 00:01 GMT		4 points
	Also, I'd be interested to see this list with graduates v dropouts.

	Namida:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 00:39 GMT		13 points
	It just goes to show how privilege is perpetuated. While some of the Ivies have made initiatives to lure students from a variety of income levels, the number of rich students at, say, Harvard exceeds--and, unfortunately, probably always will exceed--those who are dirt poor. Billionaires' children come in, billionaire graduates come out.

	Definitely got Cal because I was going for Cal Tech

	TJConn- What two are from Philly? I only count 1... UPenn. If you are counting Princeton, that is a BIG stretch.
