That might have something to do with it, but it's more because of the proximity between Malibu and the city of Los Angeles and the fact that L.A. is pretty indistinguishable from its surrounding suburbs, whereas New Haven and New York are very far apart and are very distinguishable from each other.
I would say LA is undistinguishable from anything, even from New Haven CT
Nobody flies to Newark saying they fly to New York, although everyone knows that Newark is one of New York airports as much as NY Giants are not New Jersey team even though they have a stadium in New Jersey.
Princeton and Yale are New York schools even though located in quiet suburbs.
Surprisingly no other school in the world, including California, can claim as many Acadmey Award winners as NYU
Quote:
Columbia annually grants the Pulitzer Prizes, and more Nobel Prize winners are affiliated with Columbia than with any other institution in the world.
Quote:
The undergraduate school of Columbia University is ranked 8th (tied with University of Chicago and Duke University) among national universities by U.S. News and World Report (USNWR),[44] 7th among world universities and 6th among universities in the Americas by Shanghai Jiao Tong University,[45] 9th by Forbes, 2nd in Internet Media Buzz by the Global Language Monitor,[46], 10th in the top 50 for Social Sciences[47],10th among world universities and 6th in North America by the THES - QS World University Rankings,[48] 10th among "global universities" by Newsweek,[49] and 1st in the U.S. among both national research universities by the Center for Measuring University Performance.[50] According to the National Research Council, graduate programs are ranked 8th nationally.[citation needed]
According to the U.S. News & World Report,[51]The Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, home to the Pulitzer Prize, ranks #1. Teachers College (Columbia's Graduate School of Education) ranks #4. School of Social Work ranks #4. The Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) ranks #3, according to Architect magazine's November 2007 issue. Columbia Law School ranks #4.

Even though Princeton is closer to Philly and New Haven is 80 miles away from NYC? That's like saying Umass Amherst is a "Boston" school. It's simply not accurate.
Does it really matter? There's thousands and thousands of colleges in the country. These schools are all in the top 1%. They are going to be pretty much the same in reputation. No one is going to say something like, "Wow you're not very smart if you only graduated from Columbia instead of Stanford(or vice versa)." They are all going to mean just as much as the other. Some programs are better at certain schools, but that's different for each person. There's no proof anyway about which is better when you look at all top rated schools. They are all in the top 1% so the argument won't ever really end.

Both Princeton and Yale are apart of NYCs CSA. I this Map everything pink is the CSA. Everything else is apart of the metropolitan area.
Notice how putnam county and especially pike county are about the same distance as New Haven yet its officially apart of the metro. Even Mercer county is close. Look at ocean county which is much further than mercer.

Like I said, grouping new Haven and NYC is like grouping San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento all together. To me, it's stupid.

To you it's stupid to most people it's the NYC Metro Area.
