Penn State = Tyra Banks Guest Commentator: Aaron SchatzTime for Equally Popular - University Edition!
This year more and more students are researching their college choices online. Let's take a look at which colleges and universities are the most popular among Lycos users. Each school is listed next to a celebrity who was equally popular in last week's searches.
For the record, we didn't count sports searches (such as Penn State football) or searches for graduate schools (such as Harvard Law).
The top five universities:
Penn State
Tyra Banks
Harvard University
Bob Marley
Ohio State
Bill Clinton
University of Washington
Angelina Jolie
University of Michigan
Lil Bow Wow
Here are some other schools, ranked from most popular to least popular:
University of Florida
Roger Ebert
University of Arizona
Julia Roberts
Northwestern
Tiger Woods
Florida State
Elton John
MIT
Keanu Reeves
Georgetown University
Ashley Judd
Brown University
Harrison Ford
University of Nebraska
Venus Williams
Dartmouth College
Herbert Hoover
University of Northern Iowa
Kurt Warner
Yeshiva University
Jon Gruden
Actually, a lot of these combinations make a lot of sense, particularly at the bottom. Conservative Dartmouth College is as popular as conservative ex-president Herbert Hoover, and the University of Northern Iowa is as popular as its most famous alum, St. Louis Rams QB Kurt Warner.
On the other hand, who knows if Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden has ever heard of Yeshiva University, an Orthodox Jewish school in New York? How do you say "Just Win, Baby" in Hebrew? |
