Get the Institute mug.A slang term referring to universities acting as some sort of "mental asylum" where the college students are frequently stressed about mountaining amounts of assignments
Every time I walk into the institute, I feel like I'm entering a mental asylum—between the mountain of assignments and the constant stress, it's a wonder any of us survive finals week!

Get the institute mug.A term that encompasses both a "mental asylum" (or "insane asylum," often referred to as a "lunatic asylum") and a university-like educational institution that focuses on specific fields of study, such as technology, arts, or health, offering a more in-depth approach to those disciplines.
It’s ironic how the word "institute" can refer to both a place for mental health care and a school for specialized education—two very different worlds under one label!

Get the institute mug.IND is an all girls catholic highschool attended by your grandmother, mother, aunts, cousins, and sisters. No, it's not surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful trees, but within the first week of receiving your license, you've learned to parallel park in spaces just inches larger than your car. You regularly drive to the Inner Harbor for lunch and proudly wear your uniform in public.
You know that Hildie will give you a free lunch, cut you a break in detention, and give you change if you need it. You appreciate the fact that your lunch table is probably more diverse than the entire student body at other schools. You get less sleep during Spirit Week than you do during exam week and understand that no true INDian will ever wear red unless it's her class color.
Freshmen enter wearing high socks, long skirts, nametags, and tucked-in shirts; they never go down the "up only" stairs. By Senior year, your skirt has become 8 inches shorter, your name-tag has been "on order" (for the past three years), you've slept in your uniform more than once, and you're lucky to even find socks in the morning. You've also never heard of wearing make-up, shaving your legs, or brushing your hair during the week. By the time you graduate, you have fallen down the slate stairs at least once and when others fall, it's more acceptable to point and laugh than offer help.
With 100 days left, you hang your winter skirt from the slate stairs. Despite four years of complaining, you cry when you hear the final blessing on your last day; you vow to visit as an alum at the first chance you get. When you process from the Cathedral on graduation wearing matching long white gowns carrying a dozen red roses, you know you are not only leaving your class, but your family. You love your school and others will never understand.

Get the institute of notre dame mug.A college of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities which is the only university branch worth attending. Contrasted with the Carlson School of Management and the College of Liberal Arts, the Institute of Technology (IT) is populated by people who don't deserve to be kicked in the balls (Carlson students do; CLA students have none to be kicked). Most IT students could kick your ass in any academic endeavor, and they'd be willing to prove it, because they're nerds.
Carlson student: "I see by your intact testicles that you attend the Institute of Technology!"
IT student: "Why thank you, Carlson student! Now stand still with your feet four feet apart."
