Virginia Tech has a good reputation on the East Coast, particularly in the DC area, but it is completely unheard of on the West Coast.
Many West Coasters can't tell the difference between Virginia and West Virginia.

The country roads?

Same for NC and SC. Can’t blame them, though. Why should they care?

To be fair: I grew up in the DC area and would routinely get San Francisco and San Diego mixed up.

I would say Virginia Tech is more well known than UVA on the West Coast because, as the name implies, it's more of a tech-focused school whereas UVA sends more kids to Wall Street or consulting firms. Both are relatively unknown in the grand scheme of things of course.
