<p>I love Syracuse, Old Dominion and Johns Hopkins. Not in the US, but London School of Economics sounds awwwesome. Not so hot on Pepperdine, Wake Forest, Sewanee, Embry Riddle or any of the CUNY/SUNYs – those acronyms bother me.</p>
<p>I think Tulsa sounds bad.</p>
<p>I like the sound of Princeton, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, Claremont McKenna, Amherst, Vassar.</p>
<p>I’m not crazy about Wesleyan, Miami University, Washington University in St. Louis, Catholic University, Bard, Skidmore.</p>
<p>Best names: Swarthmore, Haverford, Hamilton, Quinnipiac, Pomona, Harvey Mudd, and Oberlin.</p>
<p>Worst names: Seton Hall, Rider, Case Western Reserve, and NJIT.</p>
<p>ive thought about this myself b4 lol.</p>
<p>i love Syracuse University and NYU I dont like the Sound of Bryn Mrawr (really wierd)</p>
<p>Best: USNA (just because it sounds like Borat’s “US and A”)</p>
<p>Worst: Mississippi University for Women</p>
<p>FUNNY
Lakeview College of Nursing (sounds like a nursing home)
Moody Bible Institute
Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago
Waldorf College (imagine little waldos runnin around)
Pillsbury Baptist Bible College (check this out: [Pillsbury</a> - Add a Little Love](<a href=“http://www.pillsbury.com/aall/?subpage=dancin]Pillsbury”>http://www.pillsbury.com/aall/?subpage=dancin))
Crowder College (we still have room for YOU!!!)</p>
<p>ODD
Bacone College
Rust College
Life University (focusin on the bigger picture)
Rush University or Pace University?
State Fair Community College</p>
<p>BAD
Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing (midwifery? really?)
Lynchburg College (in Lynchburg, VA…they still really need to change that town’s name)</p>
<p>apparently i have too much time on my hands right now</p>
<p>best: swarthmore (glides on the tongue)
worst: princeton, dickinson</p>
<p>worst- dartmouth and colgate by far
best- stanford, harvard, chicago,</p>
<p>I have a coffee cup from one of my wife’s higher ed administration conferences that bears the name of the most hilarious college-
Denver Academy of Court Reporting: A Stenograph School.</p>
<p>Really?
I don’t like the name Swarthmore… it’s really ugly.</p>
<p>Worst: Ursinus - brings urine to mind
Best: Marquette - idk, I just like it :D</p>
<p>What’s wrong with Wake Forest? When I went there, I knew several people who’d applied specifically because they liked the name (usually internationals).</p>
<p>I’m glad Villa Julie College changed its name. Julie’s House is where you’d go to play, not where you’d go to college.</p>
<p>i think it feels so good to say, but it can look ugly if you look at it from an angle…</p>
<p>if muhlenberg’s mascot is the mule, what’s the dickinson mascot?</p>
<p>OTHER GOOD ONES: CLEMSON and Fordham</p>
<p>Bad: Missisippi, SUNY purchase</p>
<p>Best: Vanderbilt, Julliard, NYU,<br>
Worst: Temple, Holy Cross, all state school names, Kalamazoo, Pomona, Clemson (sounds like an STD), Colgate, Appalachian State (pretty sure that’s the name), _____ State University (makes me instantly assume it’s worse than U of _____)</p>
<p>Add Bryn Mawr and Mt. Holyoke to worst. Sound like locales from horror movies.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt is by far the best while Yale, Duke, and Georgetown are solid names.</p>
<p>And you gotta love Penn State’s Town: Happy Valley</p>
<p>Wesleyan is a good school, but Wesley just doesnt make a good adjective…</p>
<p>Skidmore sounds like school for stunt drivers</p>
<p>Colgate prolly has a good predental program, not to mention that it’s sponsored by a toothpaste company</p>
<p>Case Western Reserve is pretty bad…wordy</p>
<p>MIT and Caltech are good</p>
<p>UPenn is not an ugly name, just makes it sound like a public school</p>
<p>Best:</p>
<p>Dartmouth, Swarthemore, Columbia, Claremont McKenna</p>
