A university set up in the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh to accept students who were not able to obtain the qualifications necessary to get into Heriot-Watt University or Telford College.
One of the oldest educational establishments in Scotland, Edinburgh University is unique in it's ruling that all students must be in possession of a large trust fund paid for by a familial benefactor or mysterious "uncle", thus enabling the students able to lord it over everyone else without having an iota of common sense or self awareness.

Rupert and Tarquin did not do well in their exams, it looks like Edinburgh University for them.

Pink Cloud

12 step recovery jargon referring to someone new who talks about how great life is, now that they're sober. Usually meaning that the person is out of touch with reality.

The new guy seems pretty happy for a dude who has no job, no money and no family. He must be on a pink cloud.

Striver

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.

Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
