Wow!! That sounds like a deal compared to the tuition I am paying. Or, as Dr. Bear would say, number 666. Tony
Which Lexington? As pointed out here previously, there are at least two Lexingtons (none of them acceptable). Lexington University affiliated with Templeton University. And Lexington University affiliated with Columbus University and Kwan Tai Foundation. This one claims to be in Dominica: perhaps it's a third?
Looking at the Templeton-derived Lexington, I was delighted to see that they have a building IDENTICAL to one at Lee University in Tennessee. Look at: Lee University and Lexington. The students even dress and walk the same... Another picture at the Lexington site has a student wearing a "Saints Lacrosse" shirt. I haven't tracked that down yet. Any college lacrosse fans here?
It's Limestone College (compare with Lexington). They really should be more careful about covering their tracks when they steal material from legitimate schools. These guys will give the degree mill industry a bad name.

By an amazing coincidence, Alexandria University has a building identical to Memorial Residence Hall at Coker College in South Carolina.
I understanding that human cloning may soon be a possibility. Maybe Lexington has accomplished such a feat. John
One conglomerate seems to be using both the names "Chaparral [1 p, 2 r's] Western College" http://www.degrees-r-us.com/secureorder.html and "Chapparal [2 p's, 1 r] Western University" http://www.webcom.com/customers/national/NV_0.shtml
lotsa lexes, also copycatting Ah, so we're dealing with yet another Lexington University! Here's the one which has that wonderful disclaimer on its order page ("I further understand that The University offers no classes, no curriculum, no lectures, no staff or faculty, no literature, learning materials, testing, or thesis or dissertation review."): http://www.lexingtonuniversity.com/ About the apparent copying of impressive looking buildings across various campuses: I had a pasta dish at a restaurant some years ago that I liked so much that I managed duplicate the recipe at home after a few tries, and serve the dish to my family every once in a while. Nothing wrong with that, though it IS copying something from elsewhere. Perhaps the same thing is true of these universities you're describing? I recall seeing an apparent copy of Blenheim Palace (Winston Chuchill's birthplace in Oxfordshire) sited in the pastoral splendor of a Monrovian campus. (See the side show here: http://www.robertstownuniversity.ac/) It is impressive that the lovely campus survived the ravages of the civil war without damage.
As a small remembrance of our dear departed DL colleague Gert I have done a small amount of legwork on this unimportant topic. It seems there are a number of possibilities. There is a professional lacrosse team in New York called the Saints (who knew there was such a thing as professional lacrosse?) and there is a Saints Lacrosse Club somewhere in Missouri. Also, the lacrosse teams at both St. Lawrence University and Limestone College are known as the Saints. There are probably others but dinner was ready and, well, you know . . . Jack

I've attached the image from the Robertstown slide show. Compare http://www.feathers.co.uk/i/blenheim.jpg
