Colossal University

For all of you that are yet to blog on this topic, I'll try and make this a little easier. I noticed some people have a blogged about Colossal U but they do not even fully understand the advertisements. I have a feeling most people who did so did not take the chance to visit the website provided. What I am about to tell you you may have already known, or you may not. I am doing this for those who did not know (and because well that is kind of the point of this blog, and I really want Unit 6 to be completed..): Colossal U is not real.

It took me a while to figure this out... I read some blogs making fun of the university saying no one is going to go there and those blogs confused me because I was pretty sure it was not real. I also read some great blogs that had a good grasp on what Colossal U was really advertising: Algoma University. Algoma U is the exact opposite of what Colossal U is advertising. They use those confusing advertisements for Colossal U to attract the attention to themselves. These ads will easily confuse most people and they will be interested to get to the real message behind those ads. In a society such as this it is very rare for people to reject the idea of individualism. Most post-secondary schools encourage and advertise variety at their school. Colossal U is a way of showing you how things should not be and that Algoma U guarantees they are not going to let all students turn out the same.

Algoma U takes a unique approach to advertise their school, it is very interesting but could be bad for them. I'm not sure whether most people are curious enough to get to the bottom of the mysterious Colossal U ads, many people these days are extremely lazy. Obviously Ms. Arturi isn't! :) Yaaay. But anyways, I'm sure they would not use the those advertisements for a long time if they were not working. This is an interesting concept and I hope it works for them.
