What do you call u?

No US university is referred to by its oficial name but by some shorter, preferred name. What name is most proferred when people in your state refer to their local universities? For example, here in Chicago, the University of Chicago is the U of C, the University of Illinois (Urbana) is U of I; the University of Illinois at Chicago is UIC. period; nothing else. Most people would refer to the University of Wisconsin-Madison as Madison and the University of Iowa as Iowa. Indiana University is more commonly called IU. Cal would seem to be the Bay Area's choice for what it calls the Univ. of California, Berkely. I've heard Angelenos use both USC and SC for the Univ of Southern California. I don't think any Mississipian calls the University of Missisippi anything else but Ole Miss. Don't Atlantans refer to Georgia Tech as Tech? Mpls-St. Paul's University of Minnesota is far more often just the U (as opposed to U of M) locally. How about your own local universities? What names are preferred locally.>
