This reminds me of a conversation I had with an old supervisor. She was from Texas so I had to give her some slack. (And a near identical conversation with a coworker who should have known better.)
Supe: Where's Cal? Is that Cal Lutheran?
Me: Berkeley is Cal.
Supe: Berkeley is in California. But what's Cal.
Me: Cal is Berkeley. Berkeley is Cal. University of California
Supe: So Cal is the University of California? So UCSD is Cal?
Me: No! Berkeley is Cal. Cal is Berkeley. Berkeley is UC Berkeley. Berkeley was the first UC.
Supe: Huh?
Me: **walked away**

LOL. At least you were nice enough to not mess with her by mixing in Cal Arts, Cal Tech, Cal Poly...or worse yet, Cal Worthington.

Yes you should. Berkeley is a hoot, the campus is beautiful, and the views back across the Bay are stunning.

Ugh i've had this conversation with my mom. Whenever she explained what school I was at she said "oh epchick is at Cal State." I always got aggrivated and would practically scream out "UGH!!! I go to Cal State East Bay!" I don't think she understands the concept that there is more than one Cal State. lol
