[quote=Anonymous][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':

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

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.

Actually that's not true. There was another University of Chicago that used that name before the current institution. It failed and then changed names to "The Old University of Chicago" so that the new university could use that name. Robert Todd Lincoln studied law there before it closed though.

Not disagreeing with your overall point though.[/quote]
