Whats interesting about your school?
I just found out today that my school has the smallest gym of all Div. 1 schools. It only has 1004 seats, come to think of it, it's smaller than my high school's gym!

We are the largest catholic university in the nation and our mascot is a Blue Demon. :confused:
We don't have a football team. http://www.depaulbluedemons.com/imag...iles/dibs2.jpg |
Our mascot has no sexual identity... it is ambiguous... and has been seen in more ESPN commercials than all other mascots.
GO BIG RED! |
We are the oldest university in the original Northwest Territory (Chartered in 1787 and founded in 1804) and the original founders made their plans in a tavern. Which is not surprising.

UCO was the first institution of higher ed founded in Oklahoma (even before OU and OSU).
The reason OU's colors are crimson and cream are because UCO had already chosen Bronze and Blue (OU's first choice). Until 1915, our clock tower's hands were painted on and there was no functional clock. Only funereal sciences program in Oklahoma One of the top forensics programs in the U.S. |
Georgetown
*Oldest Catholic and Jesuit university in the US
*First African American President of a major university was Fr. Patrick Healy from 1874 - 1882. *The majority of The Exorcist was filmed there. The novel was written by an alumnus. |
Lafayette was the first college in the country to offer English as a major. Also, the tin can was invented there.

Boston University has no football (American) or baseball team (although baseball may be making a comeback). The interesting part about this is that BU's Nickerson Field was the home of the Boston Braves of the National League for a number of years, and hosted one of the first pro football games.
Hockey's the big sport, and the school has won a number of National Championships and had one national player of the year (Chris Drury). Martin Luther King received his doctorate from the school - there's an odd statue in front of the school chapel in dedication to him. I'll probably think of more as time goes on, that's all I can think of right now. |
University of Chicago
We are the number one ranked school in the nation for athletics.
-Rudey --We dominate in every sport. |

Cleveland State University has the Number Two Urban Studies Graduate Program in the Nation behind the University of Kansas. :cool:
