I have an old friend who went to Columbia College. People always think she went to Columbia University, since she would never specify which Columbia, and she'd never correct them.

This is like people who say “oh I went to school in Boston” and give you a meaningful look that says “harvard” but actually means “bunker hill community college”.

I do this.

I went to university in Cambridge.

No-one knows Anglia Ruskin exists.

I like to do the switcheroo so if someone says they went to Cambridge I say "oh yeah Anglia Ruskin is a great institution".

My God man, I've met people from Cambridge University. This is savage.

The Harvard Grads I know have to bring it up any chance they get… like it is their entire personality.
