Woah, had no idea this school existed! Hidden gem, right? Yeah, in the way that a hard-boiled egg will shrink and gleam when left in the back of the fridge for a few weeks. The kind of weird gem you pause to stare at for a few seconds before tossing it in the trash. Not the sort of gem you admit to spending thousands of dollars on.
I should go to this med-school because... You want to retrace the first few chapters of Pynchon's first novel.
Bridgewater College

What will I eat at this college? Pizza! That's what low-achieving rich kids eat, right? Pizza!
What does this school have going for it? Let's see. It's way easier to get into than W&L? It doesn't have the annoying cultural cache of Hollins? Virtually anonymous even within the Commonwealth of Virginia?
Level of school spirit? Warm and half-baked, just like the pizzas upon which they so desperately gorge.

Bluefield College

What are some misconceptions about this college? Firstly, there's the misconception that Bluefield College is, in fact, a school of higher learning. It is not. It is actually a not-so-closely guarded secret that Bluefield College is the codename for the Appalachian SETI Collective & Laboratory. In fact, the laboratory, an Area 51 of the South, is what brought about the need for codewords and an elaborate front, complete with a school website and fake alumni.

College of William & Mary

Will I have fun at this school? Take a flower, a daisy. Hold a flame up to it. Watch it wilt and smolder. Now take the flame and stick it up your nose so it touches your frontal lobe. Do this for four years. Then let us know if you had fun.

Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond

Braggable or shameful? It's the Jimmy Carter of seminaries -- intelligent, misunderstood, aloof.
However, should not a braggable school assert its own clout? There's the issue of it's age (founded in 1989) and its denomination (Baptist). Braggability and Baptism -- there's an odd pairing.

What makes this school unique? It is the only university in Virginia that is entirely powered by alternative energy.
Solar power? Sort of...the school found a way to tap into the unhinged despair of nearby Danville residents. Like solar power, the supply is damn near unlimited.

Christopher Newport University
Parent
Is there any correlation between the school's namesake and its overall reputation?
Yeah. Christopher Newport, the person, was an English mariner who captained the Susan Constant. Not many people know that.
Christopher Newport, the university, is a small public school in Newport News. Not a whole lot of people know that either. CNU is a school that tends to be overshadowed by its neighbors. These rivals lord over Christopher Newport in size (ODU), augustness (W&M), and presence of Pat Robertson (Regent).
Like its namesake, CNU is a footnote, a fun fact. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
