I've always associated "Akron U" with the same connotation as "Hilltop High". When people call it that, it tells the they don't take the university seriously and view it as just the local community college. It's too casual, and brings up images of a place where all the local high schoolers go after they graduate just to hang out and delay getting a job. It makes us sound like Can't.
