    It seems that “UC” is meant to refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California

      Yeah, I’d normally expect participants in a California-specific community to know this.

        Never been to that side of the country, still got it. But does the use of “UC” mean all campuses? I assume so?

          The UC system means all campuses

          UC <location> or <location> state university refers to a single campus
