What's in a name? A lot, if you had asked Johnson State College and Lyndon State College in the US state of Vermont.
The schools are now one, at least in name - Northern Vermont University - with two campuses 89 kilometers apart.
The name change was designed to attract foreign students willing to pay higher tuition. "University" just sounds better than "college".
