<p>gellino, i get your point but being original doesn't really mean it is nice a nice name.... in my book,</p>
<p>bananainpyjamatown = one of a kind and original ???
that's a bad example because that is actually a kickass name but i think you understand
I like Wake Forrest aswell</p>
<p>Worst:
Cheyney University of Pennsylvania (lowest average SAT scores in the country, too)
Bob Jones University
University of the Ozarks
Bucknell University
Butler University (any other occupations okay?)
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
California University of Pennsylvania (are these last two lost permanently or do they just need directions?)
Widener University (needs to go on a diet)
Converse College (you major in selling basketball shoes I guess)
Spalding University (need the basketballs also, I presume)
Limestone College (geology, anyone?)
University of the Incarnate Word (like we were planning to show up as incomprehensible non-humans?)
University of Mary Washington (for those who don't want to go to her husband George's university)
Cornish College (game hens?)
Kutztown University
Boricua College (barracuda?)
Rust College
Simpson College/Simpson University (for Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie)
Shorter College
Wartburg College (what?)
Florida Memorial College (did Florida die?)
Otis College of Art and Design (they make elevators, right?)
Linfield College (linament?)
Coker College (for the would-be drug smugglers)
Benedictine University (college drinking time)
Austin Peay (please)
Wilkes University (didn't he kill someone important?)
Marlboro University (pass the cigarettes)
Salem International University (pass the other pack of smokes)
and the worst: Penn State Erie, The Behrend College (pronounce Behrend and you know why I rank it lowest)</p>
<p>Best:
Chestnut Hill College
Pine Manor College
Evergreen State College
Lake Forest College
Golden Gate University
Montserrat College of Art
Sonoma State University
Coastal Carolina University
Unity College
Friends University
Buena Vista University;
and yes, Vanderbilt University does sound impressive</p>

Sonoma State University

You might like the name, but I hate the college. One of the worst towns to have a college in. Big time commuter school.</p>
<p>Academically, it's solid but it's extremely boring. I can't wait to get out of here (I'm transferring out of here).</p>
<p>i don't get Friends University ....</p>
<p>Best:
Wake Forest, Pomona, Princeton, Vassar, Vanderbilt, University of Virginia</p>
<p>Worst:
Bucknell (I would not go to Bucknell under any circumstances because I despise that name so much), Colgate, Ball State, Villanova, Davidson, Lehigh, Rutgers.</p>
<p>I rather like Davidson..
i so agree with Rutgers.. Reed too.... they might as well turn the R into a W</p>
<p>Why is Princeton on everybody's best list? I think it's kind of a stuffy name.</p>
<p>Is it weird that I like Kalamazoo? Saying I go to K-zoo would be pretty rockin' if you ask me.</p>
<p>it does sound cool, but on paper it just looks silly</p>
<p>Princeton is an awsome name in my opinion, although i can understand why some one wouldn't care for it.</p>
<p>good: Wellesley, Elon, Emory</p>
<p>bad: Bard, Wooster, Marlboro</p>
<p>Morehead State in Ky</p>
<p>I think Swarthmore is a pretty good sounding name.</p>
<p>why is evrybody hatin' on tufts?
i happen to like the name
but anyway, oxford is pretty classy</p>
<p>Princeton wins for most applicable name--the sound of it suits the sort of royal, prestigious image the school (and some of the students that go there <em>coughcough</em>) have.</p>
<p>I think one of the coolest names is RISD (Rhode Island School of Design, pronounced Ris-Dee for those of you unfamiliar with it). Penn's name kinda sucks, because people confuse it with Penn State and it sounds very un-Ivy-league being a "University of" unlike the others.</p>
<p>But, honestly, I think we all really wish we went to the South Harmon Institute of Technology. "Accepted" totally made me amused by the name S.H.I.T. as a school. :)</p>
<p>harvey mudd, ha ha</p>

<p>haha I think montypythonhumor's list is as extensive as it can get, but out of those the best (or worst) has got to be Walla Walla College, or Rice University (oh ok, maybe Colgate University too lol)</p>
<p>Rhodes, Princeton, Stanford are good. </p>
<p>Hendrix, Millsaps, Pomona, Xavier are bad.</p>
<p>Washington and Lee is a great school.
But who honestly names a school after Robert E. Lee?</p>
<p>Rice University.</p>
<p>Sounds like a racist joke college.</p>
