About this resource

This quiz focuses on American college and university trivia, covering a wide range of factual information about higher education institutions across the United States. Appropriate for grades 9-12, the questions assess students' general knowledge about university history, traditions, athletics, academics, and campus culture. Students need familiarity with major American universities, particularly Ivy League schools, Southeastern Conference institutions, and notable state universities. The content requires recall of specific facts about university rankings, mascots, fight songs, founding dates, enrollment figures, tuition costs, and unique campus features. To succeed on this quiz, students must draw upon their knowledge of American collegiate sports, regional university systems, and distinctive institutional characteristics that make each school notable in higher education. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying American higher education and college preparation. This engaging trivia format works exceptionally well as a warm-up activity to spark student interest in college exploration, as a fun review session during college preparation units, or as an informal assessment tool to gauge students' familiarity with the American higher education landscape. Teachers can use this quiz to introduce discussions about college selection criteria, regional differences in university culture, or the diversity of academic programs available at different institutions. The content supports social studies standards related to understanding American institutions and culture, while also connecting to college and career readiness standards that emphasize helping students develop knowledge about post-secondary educational opportunities and pathways.
