I voted "meh". Names only every sound bad or unimportant to me. I don't get how anybody hears how a school's name rolls off the tongue and attaches any meaning to it. I know that happens, but it's beyond me.
I'm from New Jersey and actually lived in Edison and I couldn't care less about having Thomas Edison's name attached to my school.
"Charter Oak State" sounds like three words just thrown together. What state? Are there oak trees at the campus that I'll never go to? Does "charter" have something to do with those schools where you have to win a lottery to get into?
I'm enrolled at Excelsior. I will never be able to hear that word without picturing Stan Lee shouting it in some 35 year old Spider-Man comic. 'nuff said
