[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're absolutely hoping people confuse "University of Austin" with UT Austin.

A kid with those scores would be an idiot to touch this place.[/quote]

To be fair, there are many large established universities named after cities.

University of Chicago

University of Miami

University of Detroit

University of Cincinnati

University of Pittsburgh

New York University[/quote]

Your approach to truth fits in quite well with the "University of Austin" founders':

University of Chicago -- not the first in Chicago or Cook County, but the first to name itself after Chicago

University of Miami -- first in Miami

University of Detroit -- at time of its founding, the only other college in Detroit was Detroit Medical College, not a general university.

University of Cincinnati - was a merger of Cincinnati College and Medical College of Ohio

University of Pittsburgh - first in Pittsburgh

New York University - 3nd college in NYC, after King's/Columbia and a medical school, College of Physicians and Surgeons

"University of Austin" however, is a tiny school compared to the existing huge, broad spectrum University of Texas at Austin.

Also, all of these schools are over 100 years old.
