A private college (not funded by the public purse). As a result, the tuition fees are high; the good side to this is that you won't fuck around when you're spending all that money for the course. DeVry grads are respected and you are virtually guaranteed that you will be able to get a job when you graduate. I have worked with many DeVry grads in my field (electronics) and have found them to be used to hard work, putting in a good effort, achieving results, and doing fine work. Also they are notably on time for meetings and they come prepared.
Oh, the new hire went to DeVry...I can't foresee us having any problems with his/her on-the-job training phase.

An overpriced TTT university in Boston where students are infused with a sense of entitlement. This entitlement is only exasperated by the presence of the co-op program where students are taught that the name of the firm is more important than the job function therein. That is to say, students are led down a path not to care for what they do, but rather, for whom they do it for.
In less words: A bad school where students are led astray for an expensive price.
Typical Northeastern University Conversation:
"You hear Jimmy got a job with Credit Suisse?!"
"Yeah, I heard. But isn't he doing operations work?"
"Operations, what the fuck is that?! He's working for Credit Suisse!"

A mid-rate university where professors that are too pompous to teach at anything state-run but not nearly good enough at their jobs to wind up anywhere respectable work. Known for providing students with a mid-rate education littered with dozens of worthless classes in the name of the Jesuit ideal, cura personalis, commonly referred to as tuition-farming (gotta fund those chapels somehow).
Synonyms include: Columbia’s fuck-up son, NYU’s borderline retarded brother.
Person 1: Hey! I got into Fordham University!
Person 2: Yikes

The idea that the universe can be represented as a mathematical equation with a series of variables. Whoever would be lucky enough to discover this equation would literally have control over the universe and every aspect of chance involved in it.
And in 1996, man first accepted the possibility of a universal theory.
