Indiana State (ISU) - I Screwed Up. I think people at Rose mostly call it that because a lot of the people that flunk out of Rose go to State. It's not a bad school though.

Rose-Hulman Inst. of Tech (RHIT) - Rich Husbands In Training. Until about 7 years ago, it was an all male engineering school.

Hey DGPhoney, One of my bro's has a brother that goes to Towson, and is in the LCA colony there. Know any of them?

The first school I went to was TCC (Tidewater Community College) it was better known as "The Country Club". The campus was beautiful!

While I went there; most of my friends went to Longwood in Farmville. Of course everyone refered to it as Bongwood. Not much to do in Farmville!

Here in San Diego there's USD which is known as "The University of Spoiled Daughters".

I know SDSU has a few good ones but I can never remember them. AKAMonet might be willing to share.

Now my alma mater: UCSD

YOU CAN STUDY DRUNK!!!!

Of course if you're gonna study drunk, you better be taking you exams while drunk!

University of Central Florida: UCF- U Can't Finish. We have a HUGE problem with seniors who can't graduate because they're one class short. UCF's catalog is confusing and a lot of things are incorrect. For instance, they'll tell you not to take a certain class until your Junior year. If you listen to the catalog, you may end up screwing yourself bc the class was needed during your Soph. year bc it was a prereq for everything. You end up there for 5 years. A lot of our accounting majors get screwed bc they need to take American Government but it's not clearly defined to them in the catalog that it needs to be taken. They'll be all ready to graduate and it'll be their last semester of their Senior year when....oops...an advisor informs them that they have to stay there an extra semester and take BS classes bc they didn't take American Government.

grrrrrr.....this happens ALL the time. Hence, U Can't Finish.

These are the only ones I know of for schools in Colorado:

CU - Boulder: California University
Over half my frosh dorm floor was from Cali

UNC - University No Credit

Western State College - Wasted State

You know - same lame, drug related jokes as everywhere else.

I really shouldn't be sitting around thinking of terrible nicknames for my school,but since I was bored....

I hope those who go here or who are thinking about going here will forgive me

More Nicknames for LSU

Lack (of) Spending U(on things like improvements to housing and for teacher pay)

Lots (of) Spending U(to stay on campus,for books)

Lots of Stupidity U

Loaded Students U (people here tend to have a lot of money)

Little Studying U(since we were recently ranked the #1 party school by the Prinction Reveiw)

Lousy-ana State U

Louisiana Sucks U

Loss (of) Sanity U (cause after dealing with Res Life and other departments you are sure to lose your mind)

and my personal favorite Louisiana Screws U(because somehow,some way people get screwed at LSU)

editied because I just thought of 2 more

Leaves (the) State U- people who graduate(especially education majors) tend to find higher paying jobs out of state

Love (out-of)Staters U- out of state people tend to have an easier time getting money from LSU then in-state people

I go to NAU (Northern Arizona University) and I've heard tons of people call it Not A University. I guess it's because we have to compete with ASU and U of A, but it's really not a bad school!

I go to a small school called Longwood College. Some people simply call it "The 'Wood" and I've also heard it called "Bongwood." I'm not sure that name is very fitting, but whatever...

I've heard some people call Northern Illinois (where I go) as No Inhibitions University--in referring to the school's "party hardy rep"...

I also don't agree with this nickname but my ex told me some people call his school (University of Illinois-Chicago)--University of Indians and Chinks. And i don't even think that the asian minority in that school is that big. Uhh I hate derogatory remarks!
