Help[Opinions] Re: Crayton? WDYT?
in reply to a message by Array
I agree--I wouldn't use either spelling and that it's too trendy. It's actually a college in Nebraska, not Iowa, but it's easy to confuse all those middle red states. ;)

Argh! So close!
The worst part is, the reason I know Creighton is because I know someone who went there--she remains the ultimate cool in my mind, because she lived next door to a member of the band Cursive and met Conor Oberst on more than one occasion.
Can we excuse it by the fact that she'd also considered Luther (which is in Iowa)? ;)
Array (thought there wasn't anything in Nebraska besides Bright Eyes and Saddle Creek Records ;D)
...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Not for those of use who live there! :) Creighton University is in Omaha. It is a Jesuit school and is definitely the private university in Nebraska with the best academic reputation. It's the closest thing Nebraska has to a Harvard, Yale, or Duke. In Nebraska and Iowa Creighton therefore sounds like a somewhat upper-crust name, and lately it seems to have been more popular for boys born in Nebraska than elsewhere.
