Heh, I think UVSC has a required class for all curricula that teaches their students that all their programs are harder/better than BYU programs. I don't mind them thinking so because they need the esteem boost. One thing about BYU is it's wide-spread reputation. In my out-side-of-utah experiences, recruiter/employer reaction is usually "wow" when finding out that I attended BYU, it is highly respected. There are also other assumptions that come along with it. For one interview that I sat down to, the recruiter started out, "I was so excited this morning because I knew I was going to interview a spanish speaking Mormon." Heh.
