A university in downtown Manhattan (Greenwich Village) that really, really wants to be NYU, going so far as to have many of its buildings mere blocks away. Populated mostly by kids who didn't or couldn't get into NYU. Had a controversy in 2006 when it switched to just "The New School" from "The New School University" and changed its logo from a standard collegiate shield to what looks like a spray-painted tag. Many people called them out for failing to maintain academic integrity.
Considered to be more avant-garde than your standard university. Actually more or less where rich people send their kids who want an excuse to live in New York City for four (or more) years without working.
Despite the bad rap it has, it's got an extensive list of notable past faculty including Frank O'Hara, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Woody Allen, as well as a pretty long list of notable alumni, including Sufjan Stevens, Jonah Hill, and Marc Jacobs (note that the people I just listed didn't go on to enter academic careers).
People that go there tend to be a toss-up between arrogant, hipster, "I'm-better-than-you-because-I-read-more" pricks and honest, cool people. On the whole the student body seems to be much more artier and hip than most schools across the country, and why not? It's New York City!
On the school's website, they tend to stress the fact that The New School is in New York City more than anything else (very few mentions of academic integrity, student life, etc. In fact, it's very hard to find information on dorms).
Many of the schools within the university have ridiculously long and confusing names. They are:
- The New School for General Studies
- The New School for Social Research
- Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy
- Parsons The New School for Design
- Eugene Lange College The New School for Liberal Arts
- Mannes College The New School for Music
- The New School for Drama
- The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music

"My grades aren't high enough to get into Columbia or NYU and God knows I won't go to Pace, so I'm going to Eugene Lange College The New School for Liberal Arts."
Person 1: "Well I really enjoyed the didactic undertones in many of Georges Batailles novels."
Person 2: "Did you read 'Story of the Eye'?"
Person 1: "Ugh, how disgusting! Of course not, that's the one that everybody knows; it's too mainstream for me. I prefer to subvert the norm."
Person 2: "Where did you say you went again?"
Person 1: "The New School."

Get the The New Schoolmug. A football team whose fans like to berate Jet fans for being too poor. The fact is that these people all live in New Jersey and upstate NY, FAR from NYC. They fail to realize that the Jets are the true team of NYC, and that the Jets are infinitely better these days. The Giants will continue to suck until they get a decent O-Line and a tight end who isn't beathing the crap out of refs. Their QBs are also average at best, and Eli will never become anything like his brother. Their saving graces are Tiki Barber and Michael Strahan.
The Giants will probably go five years before making the playoffs again, while the Jets and the Eagles continue to soar high above them. And Shockey is far worse than TO when it comes to berating.

Get the new jersey stewmug. People who live above White Plains are obese toothless hicks who live in a boring provincial area and have never seen the lights of the big city.

Get the upstate new yorkmug. Fuckin' A - Old classical is a boring, lame, useless waste of time. Today only old people listen to this crap and when they are dead, classical music will be gone forever. Every time a classical radio station goes off the air or a symphony orchestra goes bankrupt music gets better. This stuff can't go away soon enough.
The old people in the nursing home couldn't take listening to good music, so they listened to old classical music. For young people 50 cent is the new classical music.

Get the New Classicalmug. Eating while one sits upon the toilet and shits, thus expelling the old(shit), and ushering in the new(food). Hence, we get the old saying, "Out with the old, in with the new".
Damn, I'm always late for work in the morning. What can I do?
Where have you been? Out with the old, in with new, bro! Shit while you eat, but remember not to shit where you eat.
WTF mate!
