This is just a guess, but I think it would be Stanford. Unless this is somehow some kind of trick question and it's San Diego State, the least obvious choice :)
I'm siding with Jon on this one!
And the answer is...University of California at Berkeley! Good guess, both of you. It's the same one I would have said, but apparently, Berkeley is further west.
