'''Northwestern University''' is probably the most poorly-named institution of higher education in the US, after, of course [[UPenn]]. Located, as you might have guessed (not.) in the middle of the country (namely, near [[Chicago]]), its name not only poorly reflects its geographical location, but, being "directional," makes it sound like a state school, and gives rise to frequent confusion, on the part of East Coasters, with [[Boston]]'s [[Northeastern University]], a far less prestigious school. All this is pretty sad, given that Northwestern is a fairly solid school, although, to add insult to injury, it's not even the best university in the Chicago area - [[UChicago]], its cross-town rival, is leaps and bounds ahead, intellectually. Columbians might appreciate the irony of the fact that, though it's located in a suburb, Northwestern has better transit access.
