	"St." is acceptable for 2 answers, but I had to spell it out for "Saint Peter's." St. should be accepted there too.

	my strategy of "name small college that i only hear of when the ncaa basketball tournament comes around" got me 7 answers. touche, sporcle.

	when i typed in loyola and nothing popped up, i couldn't believe it. then i clicked give up- i had no idea that there were so many.

	I kept confusing Catholic schools like University of Portland for Jesuit schools. Got 8, most of them from living in the state (or going there in the case of Seattle) or following the West Coast Conference.

	I typed Saint Joseph's with the apostrophe and without and it didn't show up. Do you have to type University, too?

	16-28, no cheating! college basketball helps put so many Jesuit schools on the map...there's 7 or 8 in the tourney every year. big ups from BC to my jesuit cousins

	Very hard. Difficult to do well when one hasn't even heard of 13 out of 28.

	@marty: Sorry about that, marty. I shouldn't have jumped on you so quickly like I did. I guess I just got carried away. (And to make it up to all the Office fans out there...) that's what she said.

	Thank you to all my fellow Former Jesuit Volunteers for going to these schools so I knew of their existence (and their Jesuit-ness). It is to you I owe my 25/28. Anyone know why Walsh Jesuit in Akron isn't on here?

	What about Notre Dame?

	Luke Stavole:	May 15th, 2009 at 22:31 GMT	1 point
	Notre Dame is Holy Cross (CSC, not SJ)

	i suggested sporcle make this quiz, and i could only get 22 out of 28! and i go to a jesuit school, guess i will have to do better. Also, a jesuit high school quiz would be almost impossible, there are well over 60 of them

	dickey simpkins:	May 20th, 2009 at 09:14 GMT	1 point
	So it does pay to go to a Jesuit school where every building on campus is named after a school.

	The entire word "Saint" is required for Saint Peter's College, because the College does not abbreviate the word in its name (page one of our stylebook).

	precipicio:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 21:41 GMT	0 points
	I did not know where St. Peter's College is until I read on Wikipedia that it is located in Jersey City, New Jersey. More interestingly, I also read that its college mascot is the Peacock (the women's sports teams are called the Peahens). I am trying to visualize what the human form of a Peacot/Peahen would look like, or do you just let the bird strut at the sporting events?

	precipicio:	Jul 15th, 2009 at 21:43 GMT	0 points
	Excuse me - I should have written Saint Peter's College! I forgot about the stylebook!

	shakescene:	Jul 25th, 2009 at 08:36 GMT	0 points
	I always called it University of Santa Clara (which nicely confuses it with 3 other USC's in Southern California, Colorado & Connecticut), but only "Santa Clara University" would work.

	Good to see the ole alma matter (Fairfield) appear in a quiz! Going through the MAAC and WCC and the buildings on campus definitely helped with this one.
