	Great quiz! Can't wait for College Towns II! However, I'd like to point out Indiana and Vanderbilt are the Hoosiers and Commodores, respectively.

	My hometown, Morgantown. Go 'eers.

	There's a grey area for some of these. Many people would identify Stanford as being in Palo Alto, but it's actually in Stanford, CA, an unincorporated area right next to the city. There's a similar situation for Notre Dame.

	Yeah, I'm not sure Columbus, Seattle, Houston, and Nashville really fit the traditional definition of "college towns".

	Agree with Brian. Notre Dame and Stanford are problematic.

	swellwrench:	Dec 18th, 2008 at 00:16 GMT	5 points
	hmm, I'm guessing the creator of this quiz went to Utah State. It seems a little out of place ;)

	I enjoyed the quiz. All those hours of playing NCAA football finally paid off-which helped me to get all of them without much problem. Even Utah State-which the ONLY reason I knew that one was because I had a dynasty with them. Who says video games can't be educational?

	I feel like Happy Valley could count for Penn St

	jdmerkel:	Dec 18th, 2008 at 00:51 GMT	13 points
	The physical address of Penn State is University Park, PA NOT State College.

	DerKomissar:	Dec 18th, 2008 at 00:56 GMT	8 points
	What is the campus on the quiz icon, anyway?

	SlowHandEC88:	Dec 18th, 2008 at 01:23 GMT	0 points
	Notre Dame is in Notre Dame, Indiana. The football stadium is in South Bend which is why people think the college is there.

	Those are the nicknames of the sports teams at those schools and colleges.

	That is kind of a problem with this quiz. Some of the answers seem to be based on where the college football stadium is located instead of where the school is located.

Missouri Tigers
Northwestern Wildcats
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Ohio State Buckeyes

	Thank you for the correct name of the campus town for PSU.

	My home town is College Station! Gig'em Aggies! My picture is the Academic building on our campus

	I really liked this quiz. Although I do think it should be a comprehensive list rather than a series of quizzes, or perhaps divided up by conference. It should also be specified above the quiz whether it is referring to the campus location or athletics facilities. Or just make both cities acceptable answers.

	I would have loved to see Miami which is not located in Miami but Coral Gables.

	davidr:	Dec 18th, 2008 at 04:48 GMT	-2 points
	@Tim Allen: Sure but if the quiz is about the colleges, why name the sports team rather than the college? If, for example, there was a quiz to name the mayors of American cities, the the quiz would have a list of cities, not a list of football teams.

	Disagree with changing State College to University Park. The town is still called State College and that's where the school is, it's just that they changed the name of the location of the post office. The vast majority of the school is actually in "State College," not "University Park," and I think the former made sense as the acceptable answer.

	Woohoo for my hometown of Lawrence! Like Penn. State, the University of Mississippi changed the name of their post office to "University, MS" (rather than using the town of Oxford). It bugged the hell out of me when writing a story involving Ole Miss. I've never heard University Park used on television - just State College.

	My curiosity is insatiable..I must know what Univ. they used for the icon of the quiz!!!! I only got a handful of these :( But I go to NYU, where we dont even have a football team. On the other hand, I did much better on today's "longest running broadway" quiz.

	My college town is twice the size and more well known than my hometown, so why is my hometown on here when my college town isn't?

	Ernest, you are a liar!

	Tim_Allen:	Dec 18th, 2008 at 18:26 GMT	3 points
	@davidr: You didn't ask me why the quiz maker wrote the quiz the way he did. You just asked me about what the nicknames were.

	Catherine_F:	Dec 18th, 2008 at 21:06 GMT	-3 points
	Davidr, I'm as confused as you, but maybe there are things we will never understand! I got 3 from guessing every damn city I could think of. Wouldn't be the same with a British one now would it - now which city is Oxford University in?
