The name attached by students to almost any community college the first 8 or 10 years it is in existence. Mainly used as a partial slam at the limited physical buildings, small teaching staffs, and what would appear to be a bunch of people "playing real college" with a set of tinker toys.
Yeh, I went to Washington State Community College in Marietta, Ohio, back when it was named Washington Technical College....but all of us called it Tinker Tech.
