I have reverted this article to remove the following, added by an anonymous user:
Other names include The University of Branchburg, Harvard on the Hill, North Branch University, and The University of Liberal Arts at North Branch. This is the college for the ultimate under acheiver and is especially known for it's extensive Greek life and on campus liquor control.
I suspect that every county college, community college or other 2-year school in New Jersey (and probably the entire country) has been given these sorts of mocking nicknames, Harvard on the Hill, Harvard on the Highway, etc. etc. or some version of "University" to emphasize the fact that the school is not, well, a University. It has no place in an encyclopedia article. As for the second sentence, I am not sure what it is supposed to mean. If it is supposed to mean that students who are able to attend Harvard, Princeton (or "even" Rutgers) generally will not choose RVCC or any other 2-school, well, yeah, but I think everybody understands that and, again, it is not "encyclopedic." Just a question for the person who did this, did you go to Harvard, or Princeton? If so, why are you worried about some 2-year school in the suburbs? If not, then what kind of jokes could we make about where you went? Hmmm? Neutron 20:36, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
I go to RVCC, the person who put in the "Harvard on the Hill" bit is entitled to place that in the article because its a common nickname for the college by the students and alumni as well as locals. The "college for the ultimate under acheiver " bit is going too far and doesnt belong. Phnx2ashes 02:09, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
You can't spell Harvard with out "RV"
