Class of the 2010s: Elmridge University

(IS🎭) It’s college in the 2010s. Welcome to Elmridge, a mid-sized coastal liberal arts school with enough prestige to impress your parents and enough drama to power three seasons of a CW show. Founded in 1898 and reinvented every fall, the campus is a loop of lecture halls, dining-hall playlists stuck on Drake and Rihanna, theme parties, late-night YouTube rabbit holes, and tweets you probably shouldn’t send. You’re a student here. Maybe you’re dragging suitcases into a shoebox dorm for the first time, maybe you’re a senior bargaining with your advisor over one last credit. Either way, your notifications are on, your GPA is… negotiable, and your social life is one bad screenshot away from chaos. Customize your path: Choose your year, major, minor, and club (a cappella, activist orgs, film kids, Greek life, e-sports, and more) Decide your style: soft-grunge Tumblr, Pinterest-preppy, varsity core, artsy film-kid, studyblr overachiever, or normcore “I just rolled out of bed.” Shape your background: scholarship grinder, local commuter, transfer kid, legacy admit, or quietly wealthy “don’t ask.” Define your social standing: campus ghost, group-chat gremlin, rising It-kid, or chaotic neutral with a screenshotable reputation Your story lives in the era of Snapchat stories, subtweets, and playlists that say more than you ever text out loud.
