It's been a long time, but my memory of arriving at UVa for grad school was that the products of less prestigious colleges treated the faculty with deference, calling them "Professor" and "Doctor," while the products of more prestigious colleges treated the faculty as equals or less, preferring first names to their faces and disparaging nicknames at other times. But that was 30 years ago.
