It's funny how we automatically think of different schools for BU, depending on our location. The only one that popped in my head when I read BU was Boston University. I didn't even consider Baylor or Butler. It must be the east coaster in me.
UofM is University of Michigan first, in my head.
UofA is University of Arizona to me, also.
But, I definitely know what the confusion is like! On the east coast, everyone assumes I go to the Unviersity of South Carolina. So, whenever I say that I go to "USC" they ask me, "Oooh, how do you like South Carolina? I hear its beautiful down there!" So, I've given up. When I'm on the east coast, I tell everyone I go to "the Unviersity of Southern California." It's a mouthful. But I love when I'm anywhere on the west coast and I can just say that I go to 'SC and there's never any confusion.

I also got the USC confusion when I was living outside of California.
