<p>Bowling Green has always seemed like an unusual name for a school, even though it's named after the city it's located in.</p>
<p>Columbia is a great name as well. It sounds like a South American country, but it isn't spelled that way. What other school can say that.</p>
<p>I like Stanford and Yale and Deep Springs (my school is sending one student there this year...its so awesome to see him go there and turn down Harvard).</p>
<p>Villanova is the best college name, period.</p>
<p>California University of Pennsylvania
:eek:</p>
<p>VASSAR.</p>
<p>Not only did I wanna go there before my dad outlawed it, but the name is so...piercing. Ah I lurve it.</p>
<p>I'll echo a previous poster: Chattanooga.
Other cool names:
Stanford
Swarthmore</p>
<p>Wasn't there a post on this in the old forum? Somebody wrote a very good analysis...I think that Princeton won (though it was only amongst Ivy League schools).</p>
<p>Vanderbilt</p>

<p>I was surprised that you didn't say UCLA. :D</p>
<p><most schools="" are="" named="" after="" rich="" dead="" bastards,="" not="" just="" stanford=""></most></p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon is named after 2 of them.</p>
<p>I think the overall best name is Dartmouth. I also like different ones like Bowdoin, Case Western, Grinnell, Pomona, Harvey Mudd, Claremont McKenna</p>
<p>i find Auburn to sound kinda powerful yet elegant.</p>
<p>University of California, Palm Springs and NOT University of CA, Riverside (where there is not River). The only river in Riverside is that river of slime from Ghostbusters II.</p>
<p>You know Oxford rocks!</p>
<p>Sewanee (University of the South)</p>
<p>Always thought Hofstra sounded funny.</p>
<p>no actually...Georgetown sounds funny...</p>
<p>The best two --</p>
<p>VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
WILLIAM AND MARY</p>
<p>[say them using a sophisticated English accent]</p>
<p>Also sound awesome --</p>
<p>Dartmouth
Princeton
Swarthmore
Williams</p>
<p>I've always been partial to Transylvania U in Kentucky.</p>
<p>i think Duke is the coolest</p>
