An early college in Great Barrington Mass. All the students are would be juniors or seniors in high school, who either graduated early or dropped out to go to Simon's Rock. It's awesome, though has recently been overrun with hipsters, which can make it difficult to figure out if you're "mainstream", or they are. The official mascot is the Fighting Llama, and it does not have any official colors (though maroon is pretty common on campus). Regardless, it's an awesome place, far more awesome then some bitter person who writes mean definitions about it on urbandictionary.

Get the Simon's Rock Collegemug. Someone who has not had sex since the beginning of his/her college career. This does include summers, breaks, etc.
Clark: "Since Alex had sex over the summer, he is no longer a college virgin!"
Brandon: "Sweet, that guy is the coolest!"

Get the college virginmug. A private secondary school hidden around a farm, located in the Western Sydney area. The religion practiced is Roman Catholicism. The school is racially diverse and (oddly enough) religiously diverse. All the rich, cookie-cutter ghetto's go here and it's better than its neighbouring high schools like St Clair High or Erskine Park High which is merely filled with bogan junkies and eshays or eshlads. The juniors are real feral degenerates. Teachers are chill and lit but the admins give the biggest dirties.
Example 1
Mr. N: Good morning, Emmaus Catholic College.
All: Good morning, Mr N.
Mr. N: *presents a 20 minute long speech*
Example 2
Person: so what school do you go to?
Emmaus student: Emmaus Catholic College.
Person: ... the fuck is that?
Emmaus student: it's a school isolated from the outside world. The school is full of Mac Fags.

Get the Emmaus Catholic Collegemug. Broome Community College, also known by its pretentious title SUNY Broome, is a 2 year community college located in the de-facto capital of New York's Southern Tier Binghamton.
Students finding themselves attending the overly promoted institution fall under the follow categories:
1. They are a local resident who didn't have the necessary GPA/SAT scores to get into nearby Binghamton University.
2. They are a non-local resident who didn't have the necessary GPA/SAT scores to get into nearby Binghamton University.
3. They don't know what the fuck they want do yet and to appease their pissed of parents they enroll in liberal arts and end up with a two year degree and no job.

Teacher: "What do you want to do after high school?"
Student: "I don't know what I want to do yet. I'll probably go to BCC (Broome Community College)."

Get the Broome Community Collegemug. Liberal arts college: the only place you can dress like a hobo and sleep on the grass outside and not be thought of as homeless
I hurt my ankle the other day. I was playing ultimate and tripped over a guy sleeping on the quad. Thought he was homeless, but then I remembered I go to a liberal arts college.

Get the liberal arts collegemug. A Liberal Arts college in the US, with two campuses: one in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and a needlessly preppy one, populated mostly by sophists. Famous for its approach to liberal arts, focus on great books, and its incredibly uncomfortable, but visually iconic, "Johnnie" chairs. Blackboards are everywhere at the college, and any attempt to change this policy is always crushed with extreme prejudice.
Students of the college are called Johnnies., and in place of professors, instructors are called tutors. This is because they are supposed to be on the journey of intellectual discovery with the students, rather than talking down to them. This is, most certainly, always the case, and tutors have never been known to give lectures in the middle of class to explain exactly why a particular school of thought is fundamentally incorrect because they entirely disregard the writings of one obscure thinker, the essays of whom said tutor will be happy to provide to the interested.
St. John's has no tests or exams. All students are evaluated through their writing and performance in discussion. To deal with the stress and anxiety which comes with much of the work of the college, many Johnnies smoke and engage in extreme forms of Bacchic revelry on a weekly to biweekly basis.
Contrary to popular belief regarding liberal arts degrees, Johnnies go into a variety of fields, mostly in education, academia, or corporate sophistry(commonly known to the uninitiated as the legal profession).

"Where are you going to college again?"
"Oh, I go to St. John's College in Santa Fe."
"Never heard of it."
"I'm not surprised."
Family member:"What do you guys even do at St. John's?"
Johnnie who has learned that most people are either totally disinterested in the truly meaningful parts of their studies and has lost all faith in the ability of most people to have serious conversations: "We read lots of books."

Get the St. John's Collegemug. College as Trade School is another example of the commodification of modern life spills over into post-secondary education in alarming ways. The historic benefit of college previously included the perceived civilizing effect and greater awareness of the sweep of history and human progress. That aspect has been reduced in the headlong rush toward getting one's ticket punched to enter the workforce in a more favorable position. That is basically like getting a Fast Pass to jump ahead in line at an amusement park, only some readers and riders will get nauseous from the event.
If you dare to think about education for education's sake, or the immense satisfaction and richness of learning and appreciating a world beyond your immediate surroundings, then you will be ostracized in the 'get ahead now because you will miss out' ethic that is the hallmark of the current zeitgeist.

I paid a fortune for a BS, and found out about College as Trade School. I was surrounded by other BS people in a mad scramble to drink through the term and Google my derivative research paper topics.
He didn't study enough to make it into a good university, so he had to settle for College as Trade School. that condemned him to a life in (gasp!) middle class. At least he had been informed of all the great benefits of joining the consumerist cause and could now spend his way into lifelong debt on top of his student loans.
She only averaged 550 on each of her SAT sections and had to go to College as Trade School instead of to a great university.
He was desperate to break out of his sad chav existence, even if his ticket out was going to College as Trade School. That was better than a dreary live stuck in some Council flat playing bad football on Saturdays and chainsmoking. Thus continued the slide into the Malthusian hell of the early new millenium.
Demographics is destiny.
Sic transit gloria mundi.
