	Laid out well, but it's basically just re-writing the name of each state.

	vendorsfan1:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 05:27 GMT	12 points
	Couple outliers: Delaware doesn't work for Delaware, and Mississippi St doesnt work for Mississippi State.

	It's Brigham Young not Bringham Young. Also for a lot of state all you have to do is type the name of the state to get the university but some (such as West Virginia) you have to type out the whole name

	i suppose your listed criteria doesn't rule it out, but including junior colleges was kinda cheap.

	baconstud01:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 12:57 GMT	8 points
	I don't get why most state universities could just be called 'University of ____' but some required the location. Why do I have to type in College Park for Maryland or Anchorage for Alaska? All those state universities have their flagship in one place and branches in others, so it's inconsistent to make us type in the location of the campus for only some.

	@baconstud: Some states do have well-known or large branch campuses. Alaska, for example, has UAA and UA-Fairbanks. Texas has several branch campuses that are Division I schools, like UT-San Antonio and UT-Arlington, although UT-Austin is generally acknowledged as the University of Texas. North Carolina also has UNC-Greensboro, UNC-Charlotte (now known simply as "Charlotte") and UNC-Asheville, all Division I schools.

	Community colleges should not be included.

	Morbo:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 14:39 GMT	7 points
	Agree with jaehak that listing junior colleges is silly. This should be limited to four-year schools.

	I spent most of the time trying every real school in Florida in multiple ways. Miami Dade College is a really weak answer.

	brickhaus77:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 16:17 GMT	0 points
	Arizona state doesn't work. Alaska doesn't work for U of Alaska at Anchorage although the state name by itself works for many similar answers. Delaware isn't accepted. I'm pretty sure there were several other examples. You need to get this cleaned up.

	What are you talking about, City College of San Francisco is a POWERHOUSE.

	greenchaos:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 18:13 GMT	2 points
	North Dakota State University is the largest university in North Dakota, not the University of North Dakota

	ksyankeejetfan:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 19:02 GMT	4 points
	'Alaska' should be accepted for U of Alaska--Anchorage 'Delaware' should be accepted for U of Delaware

	Not enough time

	sub:	Jul 19th, 2010 at 20:05 GMT	1 point
	FTR, some community colleges now offer four-year programs. Miami Dade College is one example (http://www.mdc.edu/main/about/) although they list their enrollment as "more than 170,000 students"

	You should have to write out more than PU for Purdue.

	I don't know if I've ever said this about a quiz but I think this one could really benefit from more time.

	QuizJunkie:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 00:22 GMT	2 points
	Virginia Commonwealth and Virginia Tech are both larger than UVA.

	shroomyshroom:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 01:08 GMT	4 points
	Im sorry as to all the mistakes I seem to have made. I took out all of the Community/Junior Colleges, fixed my spelling mistakes, and made sure my numbers were all correct... As some of you have been asking, Alaska-Anchorage is not the state university of Alaska, that would be Alaska-Fairbanks.

	fortunateizzi:	Jul 20th, 2010 at 02:42 GMT	-1 points
	It's really inconsistent in how it accepts answers. Some answers are accepted with only the state name, some you have to type state or university, some you have to come up with the location.

	@fortunateizzi: There is in fact a college by the name of Portland in Oregon, that's where Brandi Chastain went. Also, the inconsistency of answers is based on other schools in the state, which may have the same name.... example: the answer in Mississippi is Mississippi State , NOT Mississippi, the State University.

	Tennessee is the real UT!

	i dont see a reason to highlight the answers and make me click on the ones i know before typing them in

	Esme:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 23:43 GMT	1 point
	This quiz has already been done so many times, but please accept "UAA" for Alaska, "UDel" for Delaware, "UVM" for Vermont, and "UMT" for Montana. Those are all common abbreviations and are used on other Sporcle quizzes. You might also want to say "college or university" instead of "school," since that's clearer and more consistent with other post-secondary quizzes. Thanks!

	Boooo! University of Alaska Anchorage sucks moose balls! I got my MS in Igloo Architecture from Inuit University. Go 'Skimos!

	The University of Central Florida (UCF) actually has a higher enrollment than the University of Florida does now. Just saying.

	Very well done i enjoyed it a lot. 5 orbs for all!

	jaspa:	Jul 25th, 2010 at 22:37 GMT	2 points
	Ramblingator is right. UCF should be listed for Florida.
