nigger question

[DLB]

i know this might sound very stupid, but im too lazy to google

why are there colleges called "university of *insert state*" and some are called "*insert state* university"?

ex: Utah State University vs. The University of Utah

[Split]

Probably just whatever sounds more official.

[DLB]

i was just wondering if there was a reasoning to it.

[Fig]

Here we have California state universities and universities of California

so CSU's and UC's

UC's are harder to get into than CSU's, and more, uh... Acclaimed I guess?
Schools like Berkeley are UC's and schools like Fresno state are CSU's

not sure if that helps

[PancakeBrah]

I'm not sure if that's official but I've found that what Fig said to be true. In Ohio, University of Miami and University of Dayton (although that's private) are more exclusive/prestigious than say Ohio University. Seems legit.

[DLB]

I understand what you mean now

thx fig

[Diode]

It has nothing to do with prestige and everything to do with local politics when they became a public university.

[Fig]

You just gotta shit on my head bro

[PancakeBrah]

That's diode's role here. His compendium of knowledge through countless years of internet surfing and wikipedia'ing in combination with his aggressive need to be superior created this monster.

He's my best friend, though. We're going to go to Lake Eerie and ice fish this winter. I'm bringing a stove and a shitload of koegel vienna hot dogs (my personal favorite store bought brand of hot dogs evar) and talk about WW2 over some hot coco. It's going to be a blast.

[DLB]

let me roll with you niggas tho PancakeBrah

[PancakeBrah]

We're bringing Eminem's whole discography on microfiche. It will be the soundtrack to our bro-weekend. Can you handle that?

[DLB]

im gonna lose myself in the music, the moment

Or he runs an entire sales division dedicated to the Higher Education market.

Whichever.

[PancakeBrah]

Point proven with your last post in relation to superiority argument. Don't act like this education post is an outlier. And here I was, making an observation, but then softening it with playful banter and you come in and be Mr. Mean Serious guy. It's okay man, it's just boarding.

[Diode]

i wasn't being a dick ITT but you called me out for being one

:\

[PancakeBrah]

I didn't call you a dick, necessarily.

Let's bro-hug it out and be done with it.

-ebrohugs-

[Fig]

You better harden those observations nigga

[Destroyer]

Are you black? You're implying a "nigger" question is a dumb one? I don't understand why you would make fun of yourself.

[DLB]
