university of illinois at chicago

(UIC)An amazing downtown university experience with quality education, conveniently located for internships (...and concerts/ clubs/ shopping/ restaurants etc!). Living off campus with friends is less expensive, and perfect for inviting study groups, and of course throwing parties!

Home to the largest population of apparently friendly city pigeons who have the right of way on campus. Similarly, students jay walk into traffic any time they darn well please! There's no UIC football team... Chicago is sports PARADISE! Go Bulls, Da Bears, Cubs OR Sox, Blackhawks! There might be a UIC basketball team, but students generally don't care. There is also an AMAZING workout facility, but the majority of students are too busy to utilize it.

One of the most diverse universities in the world; aka 'University of Indians and Chinese'. This is true of both students and faculty. For example, UIC's world renowned Engineering researchers/professors are there because they speak the universal language of math, NOT because of needless qualifications such as being able to speak English fluently while giving lectures!

Chicago's such a great city, and UIC's an amazingly fun university experience because it's downtown. Parties in Chicago also consist of students from many other great universities in the city, such as DePaul/Loyola!
Q:What sports does University of Illinois at Chicago play?

A:Primarily flippy cup, quarters and beer pong!

Catholic University of America 

A small university located in the ghetto NE section of Washington, DC called Brookland. The only university in the U.S. chartered, owned, and run by the Vatican in Rome. The population consists largely of people from "near-Philly," but New York, Massachusetts, and the Washington/Baltimore metro areas are also common. The population has a good percentage of "God-squad," from Campus Ministry, but everyone at Catholic knows how to party. Yes, even those in the God-Squad. In a recent Playboy list of top party schools, Miami was number one, but Catholic was asterisked underneath with detail: "We don't rate professionals." Catholic students are often the main (illegal) customers of bars, Johnny K's and Brothers, and on Saint Patrick's Day, you won't find better campus spirit (or more openly drunk people and skipped classes) then at Catholic. Often seen running around campus are random artsy music/theater people and a 30% gay population, despite the Catholic name. One can expect to find lots of conservatives, pro-lifers, popped collars, flip-flops all year round, and mass homogeneousness. A school for smart kids who slacked off in high school, always full of controversy over the speaker-policy, and always in the Washington Post due to its dramas.
Guy 1: "Hey! In exactly 4 months it'll be St. Patty's Day, we need to get movin with plans!"
Guy 2: "Omgosh you're right, put on your flip flops, pop your collar, we have to make an itinerary for the day."
Guy 3: "Yea, we'll need 10 cases of beer for the four of us, green die, and stops at Brother's and K's.."
Guy 4: "Don't forget, we gotta get up at 8am to start drinking."

Hollins University

1) a historically women's college known for horse girls, english majors, and cottagecore lesbians.
2) the indirect result of owning a Kit Kitteredge doll as a child.
1) We should have a picnic later near Tinker Mountain, after all, we do attend Hollins University. I am gay.
2) I had a Kit Kitteredge doll as a child and now I go to Hollins University. I'm also gay <3

Eastern New Mexico University 

One of the most profoundly depressing colleges in the United States. It is 400 miles west of Dallas, and 200 miles east of Albuquerque. Yes, those are the two closest notable cities. To get in, a 14 on the ACT is required, yet many students receive waivers with some scoring as low as an 8. Just for context, putting down "C" as every answer on the ACT will yield an 11. If one were to randomly spill ink on the ACT, they would still outscore the average ENMU student.
This college is for people who wouldn't be going to college 20 years ago.
Hey, you also go to Eastern New Mexico University? I'm glad we can both agree that there is no better smell than manure and rural poverty in the morning!

Hamline University 

A liberal arts school where half the students play sports and the other half of the students do not. The athletes are D3. The liberal arts kids try to dress unique, dance, and sing at awkward times; 1 out of 6 people are not straight. It feels just like high school with more gay people.
Dude what's at Hamline University? Liberal arts things plus sports.
