Elitist university on the Gold Coast, Australia. Devoid of communist dogma and concrete like UQ, QUT and Griffith, Bond was founded by convicted fraudster Alan Bond in 1987, a legacy secretly held strong by graduating students today. It is the most expensive university in Australia and couldn't care less as students proudly get what they pay for.
"Oh you're at uni? 'Getting smarter' at Griffith University?"
"Griffith? See the Polo? See the BMW? I don't go to any PUBLIC uni! I go to Bond University, bitch!"
"Bondies: My Dads your Dad's boss and one day I'll be your boss too!"

Belmont University is a small liberal arts college in Nashville. Kind of shadowed by Ivy-Leaguey Vanderbilt, Belmont has become more well known thanks to the Presidential Debate in 2008. Formerly associated with the Baptist Convention, Belmont is now simply "Christian," and the students hear all kinds of Jesus stuff at every waking minute and there are over-the-top Christian rules (such as outlawing "all homosexual behavior"). However, slowly but surely, the student body is being invaded by indie hipsters, birkenstock-wearing tree-huggers, vegetarians, and gays who live at artsy hangout Bongo Java when they aren't in class or going to awesome parties. There's music playing everywhere you go, and while some of it is Christian or country, again, that whole part of the campus is very slowly getting snuffed out. In a few years, Belmont will be a school where even the Jesus-freaks are weed-smoking vegan anti-war ralliers (just don't tell that to the administration).
Person #1: I was going to apply to Belmont University, but I heard it was really Christian.
Person #2: Well, I go to Belmont, and we throw paper wads and spitballs at the Christians in my class. MUAHAHAHA.
Sad Christian pastor: What happened to Belmont University? It used to be doing God's holy work.
Hippie Belmont musician: Dude... you need to mellow out. Seriously. Take a hit of this (hands him joint).
Angry Belmont Bible major: BELMONT IS GOING TO HELL.
Hipster Belmont English major: That sounds awesome.
Angry Bible: You need Jesus.
Hipster: Hahahahahahahahahaha save it for sunday school, Billy Graham.

A British campus university. Based, rather confusingly, just outside of Coventry and 10 miles away from Warwick, nearby towns include Leamington Spa and Kenilworth.
Academically sound (apart from Theatre Studies), socially inept and more corporate than Starbucks. But it's rich.
Very large Students Union, lots of waterfoul and a higher proportion of international students than is probably necessary. But they're rich too.
American Vice Chancellor who wants to take over the Far East and redefine himself in the image of Blofeld before he leaves; but that's OK because he's (probably) richer than everyone!
Interviewer: "Why did you choose Warwick?"
Interviewee: "Because Oxbridge didn't choose me! *sob*"

A system under which healthcare costs are shared throughout the community, rather than being dumped on one person. Has a couple of big advantages: first, checkups and tests, even advanced ones like MRIs, become much more affordable and more convenient when you don't need to involve the insurance companies. This lets people catch and treat problems earlier, making things cheaper and easier all around. Second, the overall cost for procedures is cheaper.
Under the US's private insurance system:
Dental work, $2000
Ingrown toenail surgery, $200
Under Japan's universal healthcare system:
Dental work, $160 upfront
Ingrown toenail surgery, $14 upfront
You're telling me that instead of contributing a bit to a group pot, you want to pay obscene amounts of money to a guy who might pay SOME of your bills if you get hurt... if he feels like it, and decides it's worthwhile? Whatever, man. Whatever.

Pokemon Universe is an online game from the future (also known as PU). One day the internet will migrate to the pokemon universe. The universe will begin with a big bang of trainers from around the internet, but don't worry, all of the noobs will be weeded out when they enter the caves of Zubat.
#1 - Joe: "What happened to Austin?" - Ethan: "Zubat!" - Joe: "Ah."
#2 - Alex: "My Pokemon Universe team is full of Mudkips. Aren't I awesome?" - Eric: "PU n00b."
