It's another reason to stay away from W schools. The parents teach their children to ridicule kids that go to state schools. [/quote]
oh... I am from CA.  I have never heard of this.  I guess because, as the website states, CA doesn't have any "directional" universities. LOL.  But, I did go to a lowly state CA univ. ;)[/quote]

it actually refers to for profit schools - like the ones you see it on TV commercial -- Northeast Hampshire College or whatnot.  Not state universities. [/quote]
Per that link:

"A state-supported university in the United States whose name includes a compass direction, e.g. "North state name State University." Many directional universities started out as teachers' colleges, broadening their educational missions in the 1950's or 1960's. In most instances a directional university has easier admissions standards than its state's flagship university ("The University of state name") and serves a greater proportion of commuter/part-time/older students.

[u]California does not have directional universities. As an equivalent, it has universities with the word "State" in their names.[/u] "

Sounds like it is for the lower tiered state univ.[/quote]
