I remember when I was accepted to W&M - my parents were so thrilled that it was a college, not a university. Well, also that it was a full ride!

The only other examples I can think is how many people confuse Stamford, Stanford, and almost any other school that starts with ST. Sorry that I'm not more help.
I went to Carnegie-Mellon.

Refering to the school we said CARN-uh-gee, referring to the Library between our campus and Pitt, we said the Car-NAY-gee Library...
