Cool quiz though with a few odd exceptions I doubt anyone has heard of most of these past the top 4. Almost every internationally noteworthy university in the world is in the USA, plus a few in the UK, and a handful scattered around Europe, Canada, and the far East. You can get a lot of them just by guessing big cities, though.

Can you add TCD and Trinity Dublin as options for TCD? Hebrew University for Hebrew University of Jerusalem?

Bit annoyed Sao Paolo didn't work especially given that that's the right spelling and Sao Paulo is wrong

I put TUM for ' Technische Universitaet Muenchen' but it didn't work. Any other way to do it besides typing it all out?
