    With regard to Thomas Edison State University, Maniac Craniac writes, "11 syllables. Good thing I went to college to learn how to read long phrases like that."

    So who has more syllables than that? MIT comes to mind, with twelve.

    30+ syllables, I think - Or is that cheating? :smile:

    Or to be exact, Ukrajins'ko-amerykans'kyi gumanitarnyi instytut "Viskonsyns'kyj Mizhnarodnyj Universytet (SShA) v Ukrajini". Yeah, that's a contender for sure.

    P. S. My alma mater is Natzional'nyj Tekhnichnyj Universytet Ukrajiny "Kyjivs'kyj Politekhnichnyj Instytut"[\B] (National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic Institute"). That's the real name. North Americans stand no chance in this game.

    Not a contender but my favorite because I was at Durham College when it was envisaged.
    University of Ontario Institute of Technology

    Right. Won't win the syllable-contest, but an absolutely top-notch school! :smile:

    I guess we both hang out in the same neck of the woods.

    ...but I see we can attach a campus city too? If I follow suit, my campus is a measly 2 (Hyde Park) but they have a new campus in San Antonio which brings up to 18.

    Yep - a few of us on DI. Land of the 68-cent dollar and the Second Coming of Trudeaumania. Our standard greeting... "damn cold, eh?"
