An 80's based nickname for Contra Costa College, an East Bay community college located just north of Richmond, California. The name is derived from the proximity to a former Mervyns anchor store located in a nearby strip mall, the El Portal Sopping Center.
I couldn't get into Cal State Hayward, so I'm going to the University Behind Mervyns for a semester to get my GPA up.

An elite, private research university which boasts some of the best programs in the country, including the prestigious School of Cinematic Arts and School of Letters, Arts and Sciences. USC has top-20 programs in film, engineering, english, and law. Overall, USC ranks just below rival UCLA, however that is projected to change by 2012, and USC has been climbing the national ranks since being named Time "School of the Year" in 2000.
2009-2010 admissions to the university are extremely tough (23% acceptance rate versus UCLA's 21% acceptance rate).
USC boasts incredible sports teams, including football, where they have won the Rose Bowl three times since 2000 and a national championship in 2004. USC also has 12 national baseball championships.
USC is extremely expensive, but has a higher salary rate after graduation than UCLA. USC is also a better choice for entertainment industry jobs, as USC students have higher field interview records than UCLA students. USC believes in a "Trojan Family" alumni network which give students a much needed advantage to find work in Los Angeles after graduation.

A school conveniently located right in the hood. Some people from the hood somehow make it into the school. As a result of its shitty location, the whole school is blocked off from society by a large metal fence, and you have to ID and swipe to do the simplest of actions (like enter the parking lot) and enter your building. Further, you are not allowed to have a car if you are not a commuter or don't have an internship..regardless if you are a senior or freshman.. A lot of the people there are New York/New Jersey rich, snotty kids, so if you're not like that then it is highly suggested not to go to this school. or else you will transfer after one semester, just like yours truly.
non shu student: hey hows Seton Hall University treatin ya?
shu student: it sucks i transferred. when they asked where i said i didn't care as long as i never had to look at south orange, nj again in my life

UAH Student 2 (demurring): Drat. The flying debris and collapsing structures will cause my delayed arrival to the exigent astrophysical biology exam occurring later today…
(2) That chick is so ugly she must go to UAH (the University of Alabama in Huntsville).
(3) UAH Student 1: Can you help me with this boring 10,000 question assignment regarding the solidification of nickel-based super alloys under the influence of various inert gases?

If someone has something good to say about Northern Michigan. Why don't you post it. I like NMU because it is peaceful here in Marquette and NMU is a relatively small college that is far away from home with out being out of state. I generally enjoy all the hands on experience I receive here. The School has a awesome science facility, great media production facilities, and a student run radio station. The art department is sweet but there are limited place to purchase supplies around town.
There are a few fraternities at NMU nothing spectacular and no frat row. Students can get the school to pay for almost any ridiculous event out of the student activities fee. The RIAA is really after the students at NMU. NMU is one of the top illegal downloading schools in the country and the school cooperates with the labels and recording artists. The faculty and deans do all have stickers on their offices indicating that they support the gay and lesbian organization on campus and every year there is a giant Drag show on campus.
But there are always two sides to every story. I think you have to ask yourself why hasn't anyone posted anything spectacular about the school in three years.
Whoever posted the post above is entitled to their opinion. However, I think he may get in trouble since it has already been discussed the Presidents Round Table.
I don't think censorship is cool but I guess the school doesn't like being talked about badly. I wonder if anyone actually realizes that people do have the right to voice their opinion. This is the United States of America and people have a right to express their feelings and beliefs openly and freely.
I think the person who has previously posted stuff about this school may have a unpopular opinion but I don't think that any of it is necessarily a lie, or slanderous to the university.

most people complain about Northern Michigan University on a regular basis so maybe thats why there are no positive posts on this site.

Also known as "VUG".
Most of the times refered as an insult against people that like to delay Half-Life 2 and hold it as a hostage.
*Oh and they're French too.
