NYU Tandon 

NYU Tandon is the school of engineering and applied science at New York University and is one of the highly ranked engineering programs in the nation. It is the second oldest private school of engineering and technology in the United States. The school's main campus is in Brooklyn's MetroTech Center, an urban academic-industrial research park.

It is one of several engineering schools that were founded based on a European polytechnic university model in the 1800s, in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States. It has been a key center of research in the development of microwave, wireless, radar, electronics in general, polymers, industrial engineering and operations research and the US space program.

The school dates back to 1854 when its predecessor institutions, the University of the City of New York School of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute, were founded. The school was renamed in 2015 in honor of NYU Trustees Chandrika and Ranjan Tandon following their donation of $100 million to the school.

Its past and present graduates and faculty include Nobel Prize winners, National Medals for Science, Technology and Innovation winners, astronauts, Russ Prize, IEEE Edison Medal, Turing Award, Gordon Prize and Draper Prize winners and over 100 of National Academy of Engineering members.

NYU Tandon 

A degree mill that used to be called 'Poly' or the 'Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn' which had a 75% acceptance rate in 2012. It used to be cheap school until it got bought out by NYU. Now it's a real estate and land owned by NYU that disguised as a educational institution.

NYU Tandon increased the tuition several folds while the teaching quality and facility are still at a low-tier.
After a rich Indian donated big bucks to the school and it got renamed to Tandon.
The student demographics of this school hasn't changed. Lazy lackluster, gamers, kids who should've went to community college first,etc.

Now NYU Tandon is regarded as a back-door option to get into NYU.

There has been an increase in kids that aren't interested in engineering but are desparate for the NYU brand so they use NYU Tandon as a backdoor to NYU. Thus the quality continues to decrease.

NYU Tandon is one of the few engineering schools where engineering students are the worst quality students compared to the rest of NYU.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
