"You don't know who Rasputin was, do you?"
"Yes, I do. He was a Russian peasant who claimed to have special powers, and fooled the czar into thinking he is healing his son, while he was only using him to gain power and women and control."
"Nice! Are you a Russian, like me? Because there's no way you could have learned it at school."
"No, I just read it on Wikipedia"

Wikipedia University

A fictionalized school of thought made up of students who would rather, or end up by reasons of choice or force, learning a majority of their eduction from the user regulated online wiki dictionary known as Wikipedia.

Additionally, it can be used as a way to brag about one's own self resilience in continuing education despite the accepted system of actually attending an accredited college.

Term coined by Theo Souza.
I don't have enough money for school, nor the interest in wasting the money I have on school, so instead I attend Wikipedia University; and I know more then my college attending counterparts.
