University of Southern California. Because a large amount of the student body wanted to attend other, more prestigious universities (especially UCLA) and instead had to settle for USC because of its lower academic standards.
I wanted to go to Stanford, Berkeley or UCLA, but I didn't get into any of those so I'll be attending the University of Second Choice.

Get the University of Second Choice mug.
1) UCLA.

2) An incorrect nickname given to the USC, University of Southern California, by insecure UCLA students who don't want to admit that they're inferior.
I was accepted to both USC and UCLA, and gladly chose to attend USC.

UCLA was my university of second choice. An inferior safety school. Yuck.
