Odd source: Johns Hopkins says on its own site that it has about ~6750 total students; ~5k undergrads, per their own website.

@Scyphus: I'm not sure where you're getting those numbers from. The most recent info I can find on the JHU site (http://web.jhu.edu/bin/q/b/JHU%20Fact%20Sheet%202008-09%20v%204.pdf ) lists 5,680 undergrads and 14,469 grad students.

I'm not entirely convinced Michigan should be on here since that is only out-of-state tuition and the majority of student pay the in-state fee which is much less.

Good quiz-- but it should be "Boston University", not "Boston", as no one calls it "Boston".

Michigan is definitely the oddball. It is the only public university with out of state tuition over $30,000. I think it should be included considering that for most people in the United States going to Michigan would be expensive regardless of the fact that only 33% of students come from out of state.

@Scyphus: Remember, JHU grad student total includes med school, nursing, SPH, SAIS, Carey, Continuing Studies, Bologna and Beijing campuses, and satellite campuses in addition to the main campus. (JHU '97, myself).

Excellent idea for a quiz, but I wish the instructions were clearer. I assumed it was 15,000 undergraduates, so it never occurred to me to try Johns Hopkins or most of the Ivies.

University of Virginia should be added, if the tuition used is out of state: 21,106 students http://www.virginia.edu/Facts/Glance_Enrollment.html $38,236 tuition http://www.virginia.edu/financialaid/estimated.php

Out of State is used for these - Virginia should be on here too- the tuition and enrollment numbers have changed since I made this quiz.

@kps: As Booger points out, the tuition is clearly undergraduate tuition. If the $30,000 encompassed graduate school tuitions as well (including law schools and medical schools) the number of schools on the list would be much higher. I think having combined student populations is fine, I just wish the instructions were a bit more specific.

If you are counting grad students for enrollment, it would seem that tuition should include graduate tuition. Not sure that is consistent in the source. (By the way, I changed my initial comment after I saw that the instructions state that out-of-state tuition is used for public schools).

Can you accept "University of Michigan" for "Michigan"? That's its full name...

Maybe this is obvious, but is "Penn" Penn State or University of Pennsylvania (UPenn)?
Please accept "bu" for Boston University. After getting NYU I assumed all common abbreviations were accepted, and it did not occur to me to try full names when the abbreviation did not work.

Are you people serious? If you can figure out to type "University of Michigan", you can figure out "Michigan", and Penn is UPenn, which is why "Penn State" adds the state to diffrentiate itself. Also, the more ironic thing about GW is that it's the most expensive college on a list that includes 5 Ivy League schools, Northwestern and Stanford.

ok this quiz should be changed to $40,000 in tuition due to recent inflation: here is the list of schools: Boston, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Fordham, George Washington, Georgetown, Harvard, John Hopkins, NYU, Northeastern, Northwestern, Stanford, Penn, and USC

@All I have made quite a few edits (Thanks jonesjeffum) - it is now $40,000 in tuition, adjusted for inflation. Crazy that the price of some of these universities jumped so high in a one year's time! Good thing Sporcle University is free ;)

Boston, Georgetown, & Fordham all need to be acceptable answers without the university.

I'm with zdg: I spend more time on these school quizzes figuring out which abbreviations are acceptable than I do on which answers might be correct. Are there any sporcle conventions on this, or could they be part of the instructions? Does Sporcle U have an orientation on this? (Right after explaining that DRC is acceptable, the difference between the UK and any of its constituent countries, how to spell Kyrgyzstan, etc.).

USC and NYU are the only two schools on this list that are nationally recognized by their initials. BU means Baylor around here.

I'm not very familiar with the American college system, are these fees per year or total for an undergraduate degree?

@allizonk, they're tuition and fees for one year, not including room and board or textbooks.

Johns Hopkins? I smoked pot with Johnny Hopkins. It was Johnny Hopkins and Sloan Kettering, and they were blazing that s*it up every day.

How ironic that Harvard, by far the most guessed in this quiz (with Stanford at a distant second), falls at the bottom of the list with just over $40,000.

I was wondering what happened to Michigan after reading the comments, as that was the first one I tried...so maybe I can afford to go there now? Haha. (Incidentally, I tried Northwestern second and wasn't the least but surprised...I wonder why my top two choice schools are so freaking expensive)
