University of Edwardsville

This guy thinks SIUE should get a life of its own too. He also brings up a point I forgot to mention in my most recent post on the subject – SIU School of Medicine is in Springfield. That’s a little more problematic than the Edwardsville thing, but what’s with Springfield having to steal names from TWO state universities? Next thing you know Lincoln Land Community College will be seeking a franchiseship with Parkland Community College (Parkland Community College at Springfield). Why not upgrade the city name as well: New York City in Illinois. Then we could have the “University of Illinois at New York City in Illinois”. Sounds pretty impressive.
