The long time tradition of making fun of handicap people is abundant around UL. The numerous broken elevators, the crosswalks that require a full sprint to make it across in time, and impossibly steep wheel chair ramps make it obvious that UL likes to give the finger to anyone in a wheelchair. I hear that next year they will be putting rock walls and a short swimming exercise in front of the wheel chair ramps as part of the "Make it to class on time cripple!" 2010 challange."

From there you can get arrested, taken to the Richland County Jail and can walk to the football stadium for the game the next day if your friends don't bail you out in time.

- University of Toledo: "The University of Toledo, located in the sprawling urban slum of Toledo, Ohio offers students a waste of their college years. Offerring an intensely limited array of majors, advisors and professors strive to either fail their students, or mess up their schedules just enough so that students will have to "enjoy" an extra year at this excellent university. Admission is not based on academic excellence in high school, but whether or not you can pay tuition. As an added bonus, every student graduates with a minor in ebonics. Graduates leave with the warm memories of foreign people teaching Comp 1, BET blasting on all of the TV sets in the Student Union, AVI eggs that look like sponges, squirrels that are bigger than great danes, and the knowledge that now they don't have to worry about the "parking nazis" anymore. If this school sounds like what you are looking for in higher education, ask your self these questions: do you like rap? do you like living in the ghetto? do you mind driving around in circles looking for a place to park for at least an hour? do you believe in Title 9? do you like not seeing the sun for 11.9 months out of the year? do you prefer to waste your youth away? Then this is the school for you!"

- University of Dallas: "A small Catholic wonderland located outside of Dallas in a suburb called Irving. Though the average student may obey the rules or pray for fun, a typical UD-er shares an increased spiritual perceptiveness and an above average intelligence. Academics are intense, professors are involved, Deans eat in the campus dining hall, and unlike most colleges- dedicated monagamous relationships are cool."
- University of Tulsa: "A small private university, filled with kids that represent the "TU special" or an odd collection of people who were too good to go to state schools. The school also possesses one of the creepiest school mascots costumes in Division 1a athletics. The school is generally considered to over-priced and its students arrogant assholes."
- Lehigh University: "Lehigh University is drunk."
- University of Utah: "Institute of higher education in the state of Utah. Mormons come here to "go wild", other people come to get a hint of what Nazi prison camp was like. Upon graduation, most students enter one of the state's two industries: religion or skiing."
- Indiana University: "Indiana University is where students inexplicably acquire the psychotic condition of 'delusion of grandeur' soon after enrollment. In addition, sports fans of the school acquire this condition even without ever stepping foot on the campus. What is most disturbing is that this condition is somehow spread to children of the afflicted at an early age. All aspects of life are consumed by this delusion. E.g. the sports teams are considered much better than reality; the school academics are considered much higher rated than reality; and the social atmosphere is considered of a higher reputation than reality. However, the reality is that underachievement is the norm."

- University of Wisconsin Madison: "A weekend in Madison? I don't think I can handle another liver transplant."
- University of Wyoming: "Boring little school that is the poster child of 'the middle of nowhere.' The only four year place of higher education (if you want to call it education) in the state. Pros: has a beautiful view, is the state with the second most beautiful girls in the country, has a long term parking lot, there's a Wal-Mart.

- Washington College: "A small liberal arts college on the Eastern shore of Maryland where the rich and not so famous send their children to get a good education while learning life lessons of booze and sex."

(Negative scales reflect the rating you'd give the person had you been ranking males)"
