<p>I would think Bob Jones University</p>
<p>I musta mixed them up, but both suck big time.</p>
<p>My son panned the Catholic schools: Sacred Heart, Catholic, Holy Cross, Salve Regina, Misericordia. Called Notre Dame "Yo Mamma". Had a routine about the schools that his catholic highschool did not think too funny.</p>
<p>Beaver College, PA. but they changed the name to Acardia College several years ago for obvious reason.</p>
<p>Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis, aka "IUPUI." WHY? </p>
<p>Harvey Mudd is a bit of a problem, too.</p>
<p>Fordham (FU), Goucher (isnt that a disease?), Rutgers- sounds like your starting a really old car</p>
<p>Best: Central School of Speech and Drama, but thats in London. In the Continental U.S., Id say Juilliard or Oberlin. Appalachian State has a nice ring to it, too. </p>
<p>Worst: Skidmore. Reminds me of Skid mark with its nasty connotations. Peabody comes off kind of strange, too. Carnegie Mellon always reminds me of the comedian "Gallagher" and his sledge hammer. Morehead State ... Let's not even go there.</p>
<p>Lafayette's pretty good. Lehigh on the other hand I just don't like.</p>
<p>Walla Walla</p>

<blockquote> <p>of course, Duke, Vanderbilt and Stanford are all kinda retarded, who names a university after themself?<<</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>Many people do. Harvard, Yale, Brown, William and Mary, and many, many more colleges are named after their founders and/or early wealthy patrons.</p>
<br>
<blockquote> <p>so the best would go to Chicago, because rockafeller built it and wasnt troubled enough with his manhood to name it after himself. <<</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>He may not have named Chicago after himself, but he did name Rockefeller University after himself. It's a very prestigeous (graduate school only) university: <a href="http://www.rockefeller.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.rockefeller.edu/</a></p>
<p>The best college name: Princeton
The worst college name: Harvey Mudd</p>
<p>Haverford is by far the worst name. When you say you go there people sometimes think they have heard Harvard and then you have to explain that you don't go to the prestigious school, but another they have never heard of.</p>
<p>Swarthmore is also a very not-pleasant sounding name.</p>
<p>The one called Goucher</p>

<br>
<p>Pomona College has the opposite problem. They think you meant Cal Poly Pomona, and you have to try to explain that you don't go to the state U but a far more selective place that they nevertheless have never heard of. And since they have never heard of it, they wonder how prestigeous could it be?</p>
<p>Bad names:</p>
<p>Rice - I prefer macaroni.
Colgate - I prefer Crest, with extra tooth whiteners.
Berry College - Berries are out of season most of the year.
Tufts - Tufts of what? Fur? Grass?
Harvey Mudd - Either Harvey or Mudd would be bad, but together in one name?
Gustavus Adolphus - only in Minnesota would they come up with this name.
St. Olaf - ditto
Pepperdine - just sounds silly.
De Pauw - ditto
DQ Univ. --> "DQU" - a native American school in Davis, CA that mercifully went out of business a year or two ago.
Bowdoin - Not pronounced how it is spelled.
Stetson - good name for a cowboy hat but not for a college.</p>
<p>Best: Georgetown University
Princeton University</p>
<p>I think Vanderbuilt is a really cool name</p>
<p>i think pomona just sounds cool... as does duke
bad: bob jones.. i mean bob and the school, to me, sounds dreadful</p>
<p>Northwestern University >>>>> about 150 years out of date.....</p>
<p>Bad: California University of Pennsylvania. CUP haha</p>
