Town right outside of Chicago, Illinois. Filled with rich white kids...and more rich white kids, with the occasional racially diverse person thrown in there.

Know for it's heroin problem, highschool cross country team, incredibly slutty girls, preppy "jocks", and the fact that everyone there thinks they're ghetto. Which they aren't.

Also, one of those towns where if you don't get out soon enough, you won't get out at all. It'll suck you right back in Seems nice on the surface, but in truth, everyone hates it.

If you're there now, GET OUT, or have fun living a life of being a stepford wife, classic working husband, or a whiny, bitchy teenager.
Loser Jock 1:Dude! My mom bought a $60 fish for our koi pond!

Loser jock 1: You're not black...this is Elmhurst, Illinois....

Loser Jock 2: Yes I is nigga!

a decent looking girl who appears hot at a small school but wouldn't be anything at a major university. This individual tends to believe that they are hot shit too.

A liberal arts school with well respected programs in business,education,nursing and psychology. Elmhurst College generally attracts natives of the Chicago land area who are looking for a small college where the faculty actually cares and one does not pay out a fortune to study under an apathetic graduate assistant. Most of the traditional students at Elmhurst are sympathetic kids who are there for an education not to party.
