A college which primarily concentrates on teaching science, technology, engineering, and
math. Noted for their high acceptance standards, high fail-out and drop-out rates, dearth of female students, and copious consumption of alcohol by students (and professors).
A good indicator of a nerd
school is that its name includes the word "Tech". For example: Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Cal Tech, Rensselaer PolyTECHnic, Worcester PolyTECHnic, Massachusetts Institute of TECHnology.
If you haven't been to college and are wondering what life would be like at a nerd
school, watch the movie "Real
Genius".
