A recently-founded classical liberal arts college where ex-home schoolers comprise over half of the student body.
Having grown up reading latin, Greek mythology, and the Bible with their 12 brothers and sisters, many students react to their newfound freedom by studying 60 hours a week and heckling anybody who scores below a 175 on the LSAT.
Patrick Henry College is also one of the only schools in the nation with a full parking lot on Friday nights and an empty one Sunday mornings. Rather than dividing themselves into groups of jocks, nerds, and the like, students recognize that they are all nerds and create pecking orders based upon competing epistemologies, opinions on different church fathers, and swing dancing ability.
Fringe groups of cool kids, most of whom went to public and private schools, labor in vain to create an improved public image for their school but generally divert their efforts towards dodging school rules, perfecting their social skills, scoring boss jobs, or getting into cool schools (meaning top 10 in law/IR/economics/philosophy/theology).
The school where the kids from the Little Giants went to play soccer and basketball after they lost their luck and The Annexation of Peurto Rico was forbidden (the worst collegiate athletics program ever maintained).

"Did the men's Patrick Henry College soccer team lose the game?" (*you lost the game*) "yeah but only by 11 points and they almost scored once." "Ah that sucks. High school teams around that area are good."

Get the Patrick Henry Collegemug. The best music school on the face of the earth. It is located in Boston, MA. Not to be confused with the other Berkeley in California. Berklee in boston is spelt this way because it was founded by Lee Berk, and the name was just switched around to make "Berklee".
side note: there is an MIT (Mass. Institute of Technology) in boston, and another MIT (Musician's Institute of Technology) in California. So here's how it goes:
Berklee in Boston: Popular Music
Berkeley in Cali: Popular Gen Ed
MIT in Boston: Popular Gen Ed
MIT in Cali:Popular Music
Strange? yes.

This circle distinguishes itself from the other circles of hell by having more rednecks, more cowboys, more old people, more middle aged smokers with rolling backpacks, less sexy people, less intelligence and ultimately, less FUN.
WC Student #1 - Jesus will save me from the flames of hell's eternal fury.
WC Student #2 - Nah, bro. We go to Weatherford Community College.

Get the College of the Holy Crossmug. William Jewell College is a small, liberal arts school set atop a small mountain in the middle of Liberty, MO. Once associated with Southern Baptists, the school has since branched away o a simple Christian affiliation. Students are, needless to say, eclectic. Some are honors students who spend their evenings watching foreign films and brewing their own coffee in their dorm rooms. Others venture to downtown Kansas City to smoke the hookah and wander the streets of Westport donning flannel shirts and TOMS. The last of the population blends in seamlessly, goes home every weekend, or is spending their third semester abroad. Because of Jewell's "moist" campus status, most students must venture off the Hill to party it up at houses designated by sports - baseball, soccer, football, and the lesser-known tennis house. Disregard the campus's outwardly pretentiousness though and you'll find a happy-go-lucky student body who longboard down the slopes, mind their P's & Q's, and complain about the constant wind.
Girl: Where do you want to go to college?
Boy: I'm thinking William Jewell College.
Girl: That ritzy place on the Hill? I hear they're uppity. Good luck.

Get the William Jewell Collegemug. A public college in New York City which provides people a chance to pursue higher education in the Big Apple who would otherwise be unable -- or simply unwilling -- to pay 200k for a bachelors degree. Many of the school's professors are not only graduates of the country's finest doctoral programs (this is a nyc job market we're talking about, after all), but also teach the very same classes they offer at Hunter at schools like NYU and Columbia (On a side note, it is not uncommon to hear these professors venting to their working and middle-class students about the snobbery and grade-entitlement which runs rampant in these aforementioned universities.)
Because Hunter is a CUNY school, dorms aren't part of the typical vocabulary of most students. Fortunately, there are more interesting places to live, anyway; various neighborhoods in Brooklyn, a few in Queens and Uptown Manhattan (i.e., East Harlem) typically fit the bill.
Of course, NYC is full of snotty trustafarians and the average Hunter student knows this, and therefore knows her school's place in the social hierarchy of nyc colleges. The glamor life often assoicated with the Washington Square set typically eludes her, for better or worse. However, there is something to be said regarding the fact that Hunter's student body isn't famous for jumping off either one of its two roof decks.

Ex. 1) Like, Gossip Girl isn't, like, a blue print for living your twenties in nyc. ewww -- next you're, like, totally going to tell me you went to Hunter.
Ex. 2) What do you mean you pay your own tuition???
Well, I go to Hunter College (CUNY), so it's not too bad. Perhaps I'll splurge on grad. school.
