<p>Mount Olive college...makes me think of pickles</p>
<p>Worst name for a college: Northwestern
Best name for a college: Chicago, NYU</p>
<p>While Northwestern doesn't make any sense, Chicago and NYU make perfect sense.</p>
<p>SUNY Purchase. That just sounds...plain off.</p>
<p>For private schools, UChicago, NYU and BU are about as uncreative as you can get.</p>
<p>^^^ Umm who cares? they all sound good, and are right to the point. Better then calling it Microsoft University or some corporate bull.</p>
<p>These schools were founded in the 1800's though before the concept of naming things like 3Com Park existed.</p>
<p>Occidental. Makes me think of the Dentist.</p>
<p>It means Western.</p>
<br>
<blockquote> <p>Pomona. A Southern saying that expresses the plight of Mona.<<</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>Pomona was actually the Roman goddess of fruit (I'm not making this up).</p>
<p>The Best : American, George Washington, Catholic University of America ( sounds important), Columbia, Princeton.</p>
<p>The Very Best: Cornell University ( I just really like it)</p>
<p>Best: Satanford =P</p>
<p>Worst: Anything with Cal (sounds like Cow)</p>
<p>^ Satanford? Haha, freudian slip. ;)</p>
<p>Slippery Rock is still the worst name I've ever heard...</p>
<p>Actually, I spelled that with the extra "a" intentionally. It just sounds sooo much cooler.</p>
<p>Fordham University can be abbreviated FU.</p>
<p>Bob Jones sounds kinda weird. Just my opinion.</p>
<p>Beaver College, now Arcadia U, somwhere near Philly</p>
<p>Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI). They made fun of them when they got in the NCAA tournament. Oooey-Pooey</p>
<p>best = Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, Princeton
worst = Rice, Bates, George Washington, Vassar</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd, Case Western, Cooper Union, Chubb</p>
<p>I vote for SCAD and Ringling School of Art and Design for the worst names</p>
<p>Worst: The University of Maryland University College (repetitive, redundant and repetitive)
Lasell College (gets confused with LaSalle)</p>
