A college that requires almost no effort whatsoever. These colleges are likely community or junior colleges, although they do not have to be.
A problem with such institutions is that students believe they are actually achieving something, when in reality they are wasting their time, unless they are transfering to an actual university. Teachers hand out grades because the school recieves money by form of retention rates. Even with the simplicity of this institution, most students end up droppng out; those that do make it out with a degree, usually accomplish nothing as well.

A small but highly-ranked liberal arts women's college on the outskirts of Atlanta. Its beautiful campus, Ivy-educated faculty, and low student-to-professor ratio attracts smart and ambitious women from all over the world. Of course, the high price tag and inevitable stereotypes, such as everyone's a lesbian or a wealthy senator's daughter, may deter a few.

Get the Agnes Scott College mug.Metro, commonly referred to as "hell" by the sophomore class, is a STEM school.
Metro was created on the idea that kids could go on an accelerated school life, and go straight to college. By doing two years of college, students can get a start into the world.
Metro constantly changes, leading to confusion. Seniors relax, knowing that they will never again have to deal with Metro's flux, while the freshman class dread the upcoming years.
Procrastinators are never punished, thus everyone at Metro procrastinates in some way. The only way for a procrastinator to become punished is if the teachers call the parents. Students who find themselves on the receiving end of this expect to hear lectures.
Grading is one thing that has not changed in the history of Metro. At Metro, one must meet what is called MASTERY, or a 90% or higher. Failing to receive this grade, even receiving 89%, results in the dreaded WIP.
Metro runs on an online system. Students submit work onto a site called Taskstream, which are then graded by teachers that are tech-savvy enough to use a Mac. If a student does not have access to a computer, the school will provide a used MacBook. If the student does not have Wi-Fi, the school simply shows the kid to a hotspot.
The other part of Metro's monitoring system is known as PowerSchool. This is a grade book where teachers can put grades, giving parents a way to monitor kids. However, teachers never update their grade book, usually leading to classes with no grade.

Get the Metro Early College High School mug.A recently-founded classical liberal arts college where ex-home schoolers comprise over half of the student body.
Having grown up reading latin, Greek mythology, and the Bible with their 12 brothers and sisters, many students react to their newfound freedom by studying 60 hours a week and heckling anybody who scores below a 175 on the LSAT.
Patrick Henry College is also one of the only schools in the nation with a full parking lot on Friday nights and an empty one Sunday mornings. Rather than dividing themselves into groups of jocks, nerds, and the like, students recognize that they are all nerds and create pecking orders based upon competing epistemologies, opinions on different church fathers, and swing dancing ability.
Fringe groups of cool kids, most of whom went to public and private schools, labor in vain to create an improved public image for their school but generally divert their efforts towards dodging school rules, perfecting their social skills, scoring boss jobs, or getting into cool schools (meaning top 10 in law/IR/economics/philosophy/theology).
The school where the kids from the Little Giants went to play soccer and basketball after they lost their luck and The Annexation of Peurto Rico was forbidden (the worst collegiate athletics program ever maintained).
