There really aren't any nicknames for Long Beach State...The unofficial nickname is "The Beach", because we are the only university in the nation to have the word beach in our name.
But here are some more fun ones....
Modesto Junior College (near where I grew up)......
Harvard By the Highway
Stanford in the Sticks
UC MC
Stanislaus State (again near where I grew up)......
Turkey Tech
Cal State Dominguez Hills.....better known as
......CSU Compton ...because that is where it is basically located
Everybody keeps calling USC - University of Spoiled Children....but to those of us who actually live around there, it is better known as
University of South Central because it is convientially located in South Central (also known as Watts) Los Angeles
