<p>country- whats with the mascot names and everything?</p>
<p>I just feel like posting the mascot names with it. I know pretty much every school's mascot.</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna</p>
<p>Oh yeah, Claremont McKenna is only 5 to 6 hours away from Jersey. Some people</p>
<p>What about Rice?</p>
<p>Rice is a 5-6 hour drive from some places IN TEXAS. How about the University of Neptune?</p>

<p>gellino,
Of course, you're right about the driving time issue. But I think that fans of these more distant colleges believe that the trip to their school would be worth it for a Jersey kid. And some might even think that getting more than 5-6 hours away from Jersey would be incredibly broadening (not to mention highly desirable :) )</p>
<p>Anyway, OP, take a look at the thread on social life and compare the comments of others. And if anyone wants to add their "rankings" to that thread it would be appreciated.</p>
<p>country day, your sarcasm is greatly appreciated. forgive me for my ignorance as I only read the title of the post, will you grant me that forgiveness?</p>
