A country club where you can get an undergraduate degree as long as you don't drown in the river or die from alcohol poisoning. Also picturesque location of the remains of General Lee's horse...well, most of them anyway...
1st individual: Why do you think yourself to be so much better than everyone else?
2nd individual: Well I do attend Washington and Lee, after all.

A university placed precisely in the middle of Topeka, Wichita, and Kansas City, and arguably placed in the most depressing middle of nowhere concocted by man.
The town of Emporia is home to Emporia State University, which is very presentable yet totally devoid of any intellectual activity, much like a Norman Rockwell painting. The academic atmosphere at ESU is comparable to a lecture on semantics given by the Little Rascals; the educators' hearts are in the right place, but the ineptitude of the majority of the instructors is only eclipsed by the worthlessness of the degrees they churn out.
Every year, Emporia graduates many of our nation's educators, but they have recently removed history as a general education requirement. Sadly, it was not as bad as keeping the program; in all seriousness, there is a gen ed history class in which the sole text is Wikipedia. Though history was only a recent nix from the curriculum, it seems critical thought and standards must have been scrubbed a decade or so ago.
Emporia is not the most backwoods thing about Kansas, placing a distant to the world's largest ball of twine in Cawker City. If there were a nuclear holocaust, and Larry the Cable Guy were the only male left to repopulate the human race, the first post-apocalyptic settlement would look exactly like Emporia. It's a town of self-important dullards swimming about in Earth's most boring fishbowl.

"Where did you get your degree?"
"Emporia State University."
"Oh, so what do you do now?"
"Wish I hadn't wasted twenty grand and four years of my life."

A medium sized public university in south florida with tons of commuters. about 90% of faus students dont live on campus nor participate in any fau activtities clubs or events. Located in an Exclusive area with lots of old wealthy retired yankees. If you plan on going to a party school with tons of parties, beers, and wild college girls I would consider twice before entering the "mouth of the rat". The weekends are dead silent and everybody goes home to miami, tampa and orlando for more college "action". Must give the school credit in trying to gain popularity although its pretty inpossible in comparison it to other state universities such as FSU and UCF...Also the math department sucks and the classes are either hit or miss. Very beautiful campus though overall and a nice diverse group of students. Constantly trying to update everything.The weekends are dead silent and everybody goes home to miami, tampa and orlando for more college "action".

Guy 1: Remember Eddie. The three of us used to run shit in our high school.
Guy 2: Ya man, I haven't seen him since high school. He's wanted me to come up for quite a while now.
Guy 1: Is he graduating this year.
Guy 2: Naw man its Michigan State University; he screwed around and doesn't have the grades to get a good job. I think he's just going to ride out the recession and try to get that kick ass manager job at Arby's when things improve.
Guy 1: Don't worry man, he'll have a MSU business degree.
Everybody laughs

University in Northwest Philadelphia full of mostly catholic school kids from Philadelphia, South Jersey, and Eastern Pennsylvania. School is in a really bad area on a not so good campus. Definitely what you would call a suitcase school because pretty much no one is there on the weekends.
Friend: Hey! What's going on?????
La Salle University Student: Not too much. Just going home for the weekend.
Friend: Why would you do that?
La Salle University Student: Because it's La Salle, there's nobody around and nothing to do on campus during the weekends.
