Directional 

Used to describe silly-looking styles worn by ultra-fashionable people when you're not confident enough to come right out and say they look silly. You're worried this is a new fashion you don't know about yet, so you say the tweed shirt with a gold tie or whatever is 'directional'.
Look at all these posers with their directional haircuts. I wish I was in Wigan.

Directional university 

A state-supported university in the United States whose name includes a compass direction, e.g. "North state name State University." Many directional universities started out as teachers' colleges, broadening their educational missions in the 1950's or 1960's. In most instances a directional university has easier admissions standards than its state's flagship university ("The University of state name") and serves a greater proportion of commuter/part-time/older students.

California does not have directional universities. As an equivalent, it has universities with the word "State" in their names.
Job hunting with a degree from a directional university is mighty tough.
