I don't know what Vassar would smell like. Cigarettes and coke? How do you bottle essence of hipster?

Eau de Chicago: A top note of old books, autumn leaves, fennel, and lemongrass, quickly decaying to FUCK IT'S COLD FUCK FUCK FUCK with undertones of panic and coffee.

@RocktheDebit: University of Chicago? I think that it would also have to smell like misery. (I used to work there...)

@RocktheDebit: Add a base note of crippling inferiority complex/Ivy envy and a touch of frat boy and you've got Northwestern, baby.

@Riff_Randell: Ugh, I dated a guy from Northwestern and he was very preoccupied with proving that he wasn't a nerd.

He was.

@morninggloria: No, it's either "self-inflicted misery" or "self-deprecatingly miserable."

@fashionablyevil: My coworkers and I used to refer to the library as "The Misery Crystal" because it just pulsates with despair.

@morninggloria: Which one, Crerar or the Reg? Crerar's more crystalline, and it has the med and science students, so that's got despair - OTOH, the Regenstein is ugly as anything, and I've had some pretty miserable times there.

Harper, on the other hand, is my happy place. I visualize it when meditating.

@RocktheDebit: I used to go to Harper and read magazines. Just because it is so flipping awesome.

Hm. Bush's Chicken + freshly-cut grass + bear poop + Victoria's Secret Heavenly + the sweet, smug aroma of God's love = Baylor!

I went to Penn State (is it obvious?) and I'm pretty sure that they could make these smell like the morning after a frat party and thousands of Penn Staters would buy them up. You could sell a piece of rotten garbage with the nittany lion on it and we would all run to buy it.

@saf5001: Haha! I wouldn't buy it (even though I'm a student there), no matter how passionate I am about the school.

I'd just like the smell to be farm and manure. That's a better description of Penn State.

@monkeyriot: It wasn't until sophomore year that I discovered that combining the three sauces was really the best way to go.

Remember that time we ordered breadsticks and someone stole the delivery person's car en route and crashed it so we never got our breadsticks?

What do you have along the lines of Tulane? Bourbon Street has its own distinct aroma - Huge Ass Beers, Manure and Shame. Bottle that up.

My college smelled like pluff mud, paper mills and fried food. I would still wear it as a perfume though, I really miss that place.
