Beach School!

Definition of Beach Schools:

There are Beach Schools, just as there are Engineering Schools, Medical Schools, Law Schools, and Fine Arts Schools.

Colleges in this category are distinguishable by the following characteristics:

• On or less than one mile from the sand and surf

• Students, especially freshmen, are at risk of academic failure if they become addicted to the those warm, sandy expanses

• Warm at least five-sixths of the year

• Students are familiar with surfing, or can speak the language of Dude

• Students who attend these institutions frequently express an interest in partying

• Generally speaking, students are never unaware of the presence of the Ocean <61 feet away

• Many of these schools offer an excellent education, and rigorous classes, with the option of a mid-night bonfire on the shore, with plenty of kegs to provide stress relief

• Many of these students are blonds

• Flip Flops are considered haute couture

• Students wear shorts, or as little as possible for all but the very coldest days of the year

• A Beach School is an Ocean School, but an Ocean School is not necessarily a Beach School

• These colleges are most often found in the following states: California, Florida, Hawaii, and Texas

In case you do not understand the lack of periods after each bullet, many are not complete sentences, so do not get period. Therefore, consistency is required in the list.
