Used instead of a real university name by people that never made it to an university feel ashamed because of that.
"Hey, man, how are you? Haven't seen you in ten years. I heard you dropped out of Princeton?"
"AND!? Now I study at the University of life! And I'm not ashamed of it! It's perfectly allright! It does not mean that I am a loser... it's *sobbs*"

Get the university of life mug.Like its counterpart Walden University, Capella University is a place where you can buy a degree as long as you're willing to pay. The similarities with Walden University (also located in Minneapolis, Minnesota) are so similar that the same definitions apply to both schools.
Like Walden, Capella is "an online diploma mill masquerading as a school. They started as small non-accredited college selling degrees through the Internet and have since bombarded the Internet with endless advertising spam messages about their graduate programs. Everyone who applies will be accepted as they don’t require a GRE, SAT, or a pulse. If you can pay, you can get yourself a Walden education.
Their instructors are all part-time employees who are usually employed at other online schools and teach at Walden for the extra money. All of their classes are canned and don’t really require any real learning. Just write papers and do the minimum and you’ll have a worthless degree in no time at all.
The school's administration in Minneapolis, MN changes constantly. The school goes through deans and heads of departments so quickly they can't seem to figure out who's running things.
Capella University is for anyone who wants to brag about having a degree while they’re restocking the shelves at Walmart."
To paraphase the second Walden definition - Capella University is "a marketing company masquerading as a school. Anytime anyone says anything bad about them online a bunch of fake people, who all sound exactly the same, show up to defend it.
The school is the bottom of the barrel of acredited colleges. It is the community college of online schools. The only reason to go to Capella University is because you can't get in anywhere else.
This review will never be number #1 on Urban Dictionary because Capella University staff members are paid to scour the internet and purge honest information about their school.

Get the Oklahoma State University mug.Illinois Wesleyan University, or IWU (pronounced eye-woo), is a small liberal arts university in Bloomington, Illinois that consists of about 2500 students.
IWU is in close proximity to Illinois State University, so often there is a sense of rivalry between students at each institution. The high cost of attending IWU makes some students at ISU believe that everyone at IWU is obscenely rich. However, contrary to this popular belief nobody at IWU pays for college in cash and almost all students at IWU get some kind of scholarship/financial aid package that makes the cost much more managable.

Get the Illinois Wesleyan University mug.A school that focuses on Aviation with two campuses: one in Daytona Beach, Florida and one in Prescott, Arizona.
Both of these schools are really boring, but the Prescott campus is probably worse.
There are no girls at this school - its over 90% male. It's also full of a billion fucking preps, nerds and losers who try to act like they're from California. It's also pretty boring unless you have a car and you'll probably contemplate transferring to another school more than once. It is also expensive as shit.
If you're thinking of of going to this school, you better be DAMN FUCKING SURE you want to because if you change your mind, you'll spend nearly 30 grand a year for nothing. So don't bitch out.
Oh and there's not much partying. Most of them suck. But if you're a douche bag and join a lame ass fraternity, you'll probably have an easier time getting crunk. Kiss your ass and money goodbye if you're caught though. This school doesn't fuck aroud, nigga.
Despite the negatives its' a pretty good school. The weather is good and its a quiet atmosphere that allows you to study. If you're sure you can handle it and want to have a great job in aviation, this is the school you want.
