If colleges/universities were humans?

As the long waiting process goes on...
Just for fun, what do you think each institution would look like? How would they act? What sports/instruments would they play? Would they have an accent or mannerism? Post your thoughts!

    Starting off on Cal Poly SLO:
    They would be your typical Californian: average height with blond hair and blue eyes. They would be pretty down to earth and friendly and you'd find him/her surfing or playing the guitar in a reggae band. They would look like they don't care about school at all, but in reality they are super geniuses who could calculate the force of the wave they are about to ride on without actually riding it yet.

    Caltech would be the social outcast whom you knew existed but about whom you knew little else until one day, you see that he discovered the cure to cancer. He/she would speak very quickly but used few words, carry a notebook everywhere, and drop out mid-conversation to verify something that he/she suddenly realized.

    NYU is the girl who, after a long day of abstract painting and photography, goes back to her loft apartment to be greeted by her feline pet and a warm cup of herbal tea.

    Harvey Mudd used to be best friends with Caltech in high school. Always seemed to be the second smartest kid in the class (Caltech was first), but to most kids he was basically a genius. The tiny amount of intelligence he lacked relative to his buddy Cal was more than made up for by his quick wit and clever sense of humor.

    Oberlin is the kid who would ace his science tests in high school, then pull out his current concerto or solo to mark up the sheet music while everyone else was still only a fraction of the way done with their exam.

    NYU would be a gay guy looking to hook up.

    @foolish
    that's just my stereotypical Californian (I'm from the midwest) and I know Cali has a huge Latino/a population. I thought this was supposed to be fun not politically correct.

    Harvard would be a socially awkward Asian.

    Boston University would be the over privileged, mildly alcoholic hockey-bro that always ends up passed out on your lawn.

    @foolish way to bend that way out of proportion. Cal Poly SLO has TONS of blonde haired/blue eyed people. That's all he was saying.

    Princeton would be a wanna-be hipster who wears bow ties because he thinks it makes him unique.

    MIT would be that kid that wants to use his creative and innovative skills to **** other people. Hard.
