Illinois State University has the tallest dorm building in the continental US - until recently, it was the world.

Wisconsin

Famous for stem cells perhaps
I believe the university also holds some patents for putting vitamin D in milk.
#1 party school too.
I've also heard that more CEOs graduated from Wisconsin than any other school, not sure if it's true.

Located in the heart of NEWARK, NJ Nuff said!

Plus this season of The Sopranos they filmed the outside hospital scenes, and hospital cafateria on-campus here.

in a pointed effort to make us look bad, fox news hand picks our most retarded students to speak on air about campus politics in which they are not even involved. the dumb fvcks sit there and have nervous twitches and say "um" all the time, and the hosts either yell at them or condescend to them. whoopee.
-UCSC.

RIT - Known as the best university in the nation for photography, also known for CS/IT/CE/Engineering. RIT is also well known for the co-op program that many majors have to go through in order to graduate.

RIT is also connected to NTID (National Technical Institute for the Deaf) - I believe it's the largest program in the nation for the hard of hearing.

Last but not least, lack of girls.
