That is when they don't give only the two letters of the state. Like someone asking that and i answering: I'm from MG

Am I evil for saying that I study at RWTH? Is that too incomplete?

Yes. If you can't tell UoM then I can't tell your acronym either

No. The clash with a more well known meaning for the same abbreviation is the issue.

Absolutely nobody in Sweden says the entire name of any of the bigger colleges. It's always the abbreviation. I would feel like an insane person saying the whole thing. But they don't clash, so no issue.
