<p>Let's have some light-hearted fun. </p>
<p>My nominees:</p>
<p>Salisbury State (everytime I hear it I think of a salisbury steak)
The College of New Jersey (sounds kind of vague, doesn't it?)</p>
<p>let's hear them</p>

<p>Already a thread for this.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Doesn’t that apply to every state college then? Florida? Michigan? Tennessee?</p>
<p>Transylvania and Skidmore always get my votes.</p>
<p>Brigham Young (“Bring em Young”)
AND the fact its in Utah.</p>
<p>^no doubt the most pedophile sounding school name on earth.</p>
<p>the college of wooster sounds ■■■■■■■■. and why would you want to attend a school that shares a name with a toothpaste, colgate?</p>
<p>Grinnell
Goucher
Haverford (Everyone thinks you’re going to Harvard)
Pomona (Everyone thinks you are going to the state school)</p>
<p>Colgate since it’s linked with a toothpaste, Rice - food</p>
<p>Tufts (sounds like there are just little clumps of hair or something)</p>
<p>Wartburg College</p>
<p>Ursinus College.</p>
<p>Binghamton. I just hate that word. To me, it sounds like someone scratching their nails on a chalkboard…in word form.</p>
<p>Austin Peay</p>
<p>the best part is they used to have a basketball player whose last name was fly. swear to god. their chant was “the fly’s open, now let’s go peay!”</p>
<p>Hey, there’s nothing wrong with good old Binghamton.</p>
<p>St. Olaf always makes me giggle because I grew up watching The Golden Girls with my mom. </p>
<p>Kalamazoo is also pretty funny, though I’m not sure if it’s in a way that makes it bad or makes it awesome. Sometimes there is a fine line.</p>
<p>Humboldt State U…it just sounds a little funny</p>
<p>I have to agree about Binghampton…it is a strange word</p>
<p>Ahh! There’s no p in Binghamton! I’m from the area and it makes me nuts when people pronounce and spell it that way. </p>
<p>Lesson: </p>
<p>Binghamton is (roughly) pronounced Bing-um-ton. </p>
<p>Albeit, I do recognize it’s a weird name. I just wouldn’t say it’s something that we need to kill with fire.</p>
<p>I’ve always liked the name Binghamton. It sounds very… collegiate to me. And it’s better than some of the other SUNYs. (Oswego, Potsdam, Oneonta… ugh.)</p>
<p>Ball state</p>
<p>Tufts - good thing I’m not really interested in the school anyway, because I refuse to apply due to its name.
Colgate - toothpaste. No.
St. Olaf - I read A Series of Unfortunate Events before I heard about this college. Enough said.</p>
<p>Christopher Newport University</p>
