Certainly not at brand recognition. Everyone's heard of Harvard, Yale and Cambridge, no-one's heard of UCL who didn't go there (and I say this as an alum).

I don't set much store by relying on the prestige of a university as a substitute for what the graduate's done with their career but still, it's annoying to get mistaken for the University of Central Lancashire!
