Get the Trinity College Dublin mug.I agree with the other definition the other person said about this school. The school is separated with 2 campuses, one in the middle of nowhere and the other in the crap city of Worcester. The one in Worcester has only 2 buildings for the school, and the rest of the campus is a super small community of apartment houses that is constantly patrolled by campus police (they walk into the dorms as they please and close your doors and lock you out if your not in there even though your next door). If you like eating the same thing every single day, this is the perfect place for you (Cheeseburgers, fries, pizza, grilled cheese, tortillas with hardly any meat, no trays, bootleg soda; RC Cola; cups that are found everywhere on campus; in bathrooms, on the streets, in random places; a sandwich guy who does not know how to make a simple peanut butter sandwich). Less than 1/10 of the school lives on campus, more than 8/10 of the school population is females, which you can find most of them coughing up a lung outside of classes from smoking. Activities? Only a few people attend, maybe one to three? Oh, did I mention you can't have fun here? You can't have any parties, you can't drink even if your 21+, if you get caught drinking, they charge you with a fine of up to $25 (You will have to go see Tyrone! A big guy with huge lips). Oh and don't bother considering the "free laptop" thing, its a rip off. The dorms are a piece of shit, the only good one is Cedar Hall, the ONLY one they will show you in tours of the college campus. Think you will have your own parking spot? WRONG! People will park in the parking lot that don't have a parking permit and campus police claims "They can't do anything about it". Don't expect big parties on the weekends, because everyone goes home on the weekends. If you like random nerds going into your dorms to play video games from morning till past midnight, this place would be perfect for you. Enjoy your music while you can, because they will tell you to turn it down. There's nothing to do, AT ALL, around here, so you get to sit in your room all day and play video games! Yay!

Randolph-Macon College “The country club of higher education” is located in the small hamlet of Ashland, VA. This selective undergraduate institution is known for its personal one on one interaction with professors and the slogan “Your way right away”. This however is only the surface. Randy-Mac is all of the above but more. We rock the prep style. Ladies in Lilly and pearls, and men in POLO. We wear boat shoes and duckies like they are going out of style. Pastels rule and we aren’t afraid to pop our collar. Our Greek system rivals most large state universities, we just pay more. Some might call it paying for friends, but we think we are just better then you. Greek life is the social scene on campus. When 50% of your campus is affiliated, if you are not one, you better be friends with one. Sunday brunch is the most attended meal, that’s only if you can get up before 2pm. Everyone here was Mr. and Mrs. popular in high school, so of course, the rumor mill is as strong as ever. Thus, the reason for Sunday brunch. If you want your shit kept a secret, go to your public state university. Most students hail from the suburbs of Mid-Atlantic cities, and the occasional international student, who is most likely trafficking the drug scene on campus. People might say that our campus is full over overdressed, snobby, WASPS, and that but drink and party. We feel as though, we worked hard in high school, and it’s a four year party. Because it’s not like we actually have to get jobs after graduation. We can just call one of daddies’ golf buddies for a cushy mid-level corporate job. So why not live it up. If you think that’s bad, well then we don’t feel sorry for you. When some one says “28 days later” you don’t think of the movie. Most students associate this with the final day of J-Term/Play-Term by referring to the full month of alcoholism. To prove it, just look ask the librarian. She will tell you that the library closes 3 hours early in this term because of the lack of attendance. Spring semester is the time of year to let loose, party up, and generally have a good time. Its exactly like fall semester, but now outside on the lawns, fields, and the river banks. Sports are widely attended when held outside, because we can be completely intoxicated and get a tan at the same time. If you like this and this is what you want to become, then please, by all means, apply! But if you’re ugly, you might want to ask for plastic surgery for graduation.
Any student in attendance.

Get the Randolph-Macon College mug.Lafayette College, nearly a brilliant sentence in itself, is one of the nation's most premier colleges. To say Lafayette is the safety school of Lehigh University (I just puked in my mouth) is perhaps one of the most preposterous statements that can ever be said. True, Lafayette and Lehigh cannot be ranked together, (because they belong to different categories) but nonetheless, Lafayette is ranked better in it's own category (according to US News and World Report). Not only that, but Lafayette's stunning campus is situated upon "the hill," rather than being mixed in with the nasty-thug ghettoes like Lehigh is. What more can be said? Lafayette kicks Lehigh's ugly loser ass any day. Period.
Beautiful Lafayette College Student #1: "Did you see those Neanderthals on campus today?"
Beautiful Lafayette College Student #2: "No, man. They were just some Lehigh students."
Beautiful Lafayette College Student #1: "Wow - thank God we're so much better."

Get the Lafayette College mug.The college was originally founded under the name St. Stephen's, in association with the Episcopal church of New York City, and changed its name to Bard in 1934 in honor of its founder, John Bard. While the college remains affiliated with the church, it pursues a far more secular mission today. Between 1928 and 1944, Bard/St. Stephen's operated as an undergraduate school of Columbia University. Bard/St. Stephen's ties with Columbia were severed when Bard became a fully coeducational college.
By the 1930s, Bard had become atypical among US colleges in that it had begun to place a heavy academic emphasis on the performing and fine arts. During that time, a substantive examination period was introduced for students in their second year, as well as what the dean at the time called the "final demonstration." These two periods would come to be known as Moderation and Senior Project, respectively.
For the class of 2012, 25% of applicants were accepted, while the median SAT and ACT scores for matriculating students were 1330 (math plus verbal) and 30, respectively. Fifty-four percent of matriculating students ranked in the top 10% of their high school class out of 44% of students who reported their ranking.The Princeton Review rated Bard a 96 out of 99 in its selectivity rating, and US News & World Report categorized Bard as "most selective."The class of 2011 represent 38 states and 46 different countries.
However, Bard has a high hipster population.

Hampshire College is a member of the Five College Consortium and is viewed as the eccentric hippie school. A well known myth maintains that the characters in Scooby Doo were based on the colleges in the Consortium. Hampshire is said to have been the basis for Shaggy although it did not open until 1970, after the show first aired.
Students receive evaluations rather than grades. Even if you ask, professors will not convert your eval to a grade. Each student has an adviser who, unlike at most schools, tends to actually have a significant role in the student's life.
Hampshire is unique in that it has a Farm Center and blacksmithing forges. Its strong subject areas are in the Natural Sciences and Film & Photography.
Hampshire has a small population, but students can take classes, enroll in clubs, and party at the other four schools so diversity (except ideological) and resources are not as limited as at other schools of a similar size.
