America's 25 Douchiest Colleges

AMERICA'S 25 DOUCHIEST COLLEGES: GQ Features on men.style.com

1. Brown
Quote:
A belief that grades, majors, and course requirements are just another form of cultural hegemony; using the word hegemony.
2. Duke
Quote:
They're probably number one. But we'd rather not rank Duke number one at anything.
3. Princeton
Quote:
Most Ivy Leaguers try (unconvincingly) not to mention which college they went to. Not at Princeton.
4. Harvard
5. Deep Springs
6. Bob Jones
7. Amherst
Quote:
Home of: The "I Went to a Small liberal-arts College in Massachusetts" ******. Quiet sense of superiority; intense desire to be surrounded by 1,700 people almost exactly like you; Choate soccer jacket. In ten years, will be: Smart policy guy at State Department that no one listens to.
OUCH!!!
8. Rollins
9. Charter
10. U of Colorado
11. NYU
12. U of Phoenix
13. U of Georgia
14. Arizona State
Quote:
Profiles in studentia: Roger McFeelings,* Cincinnati. "I had such an awesome time in Cancún. I got really ****ing tan, the girls were hot, and the Ecstasy was almost pure. I was like, I wish Cancún was a college! Then I realized, it is!"
15. Notre Dame
Quote:
Profiles in Studentia: Gerry McDougal,* Chicago. "I was looking for a place that would challenge me academically, but I also wanted to feel bad about masturbating. At Notre Dame, I got both."
16. USC
17. Chicago
18. BU
Quote:
Most likely to: Major in communications and take it seriously.
19. Ohio State
20. Morehouse
21. Trinity
22. Vassar
23. Randolph-Macon
24. UT
25. UVA
Quote:
Affectations: The side part; the insistence on referring to your school as "the University," our third president as "Mr. Jefferson," the quad as "the lawn," and the Civil War as the "War Between the States."
=(.

It was really just a humor article. If it were more comprehensive, I could see Yale and Columbia getting pimp slapped.

I'm sorry, but when UT, which is easily the coolest school in Texas, is on the douchiest colleges list, but yet ridiculously ******y schools, such as Texas A&M and Texas Tech, aren't, I just can't help but wonder how the person who wrote this came up with their list.
