PINK goes Collegiate: The PINK College Tour

Hello Lovelies

I'm a college student, and I love to be one. From going going crazy when our basketball team scores a game winning basket (my university unfortunately does not have a Football team, don't judge!) to kicking it with friends on the campus Quad, I love everything about being a college student. In case I haven't said it enough, I love to show that I am an educated individual, so you know I love wearing collegiate gear. From LSU to Mizzou, if it has a university on it, I'll be the the first one in it; which is why I love the Collegiate Collection from VS PINK.

If you come from a small school like me, your school may only have a limited amount of gear for you to wear, forcing you to rock the big school gear. But before you running to your nearest Victoria's Secret to clean the Collegiate Collection shelves you might want actually want to know a little bit about the school you choose to represent; consider this your Collegiate Wear 101. Here's my regional picks for the schools you should rock.



East Coast:  New York University (NYU)

Location: New York, NY
Size Category: Big School (20k + Students)

Why NYU Made the VS PINK College Tour 

I had to to start the college tour somewhere, and being the biggest city in the US, and one of the biggest in the world I of course had to start the the tour in New York. New York University is one the biggest and most well known schools in New York, located in lower Manhattan it has been featured in a number of Books, TV shows, and movies including Seinfield, Gossip Girl, The Cosby Show, Friends,  The American Pie Movies, Rent and Wall Street. NYU isn't just all talk, the university counts 36 Nobel Prize winners, 3 Abel Prize winners, 10 National Medal of Science recipients, 16 Pulitzer Prize winners, 30 Academy Award winners, 4 Putnam Competition winners, Russ Prize, Gordon Prize, and Draper Prize winners, Turing Award winners, and Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winners among its faculty and alumni. NYU holds a reputation almost as large as the city it is located in, and that's why it made the first stop on the VS PINK College Tour.

How you can rock PINK NYU gear

NYU's colors are Violet and White, making PINK NYU gear essential to each almost any woman's wardrobe. VS PINK has a wide variety of NYU gear, from panties and bras to sweats, to even outerwear, so you can represent NYU in any way you choose. 



The PINK NYU Collegiate Collection is only available in New England area so be sure to grab it when your in the big apple!

Midwest: University of Missouri- Columbia (Mizzou)

At A Glance:

Location: Columbia, MO
Size Category: Big School (20K+ Students)
Colors: Black and Gold
University Motto: "Let the Welfare of the People be the Supreme Law"
Mascot: Truman the Tiger



Why Mizzou Made the VS PINK College Tour 

The midwest is a very special place, it contains a lot of nothing, so schools in the midwest have to work extra hard to keep their college students entertained and out of trouble. This is something the University of Missouri - Columbia does very well. Located in the small town of Columbia, Many Mizzou students would die of boredom if weren't for the university's more than ample list of student entertainment activities including it's own movie theater and bowling ally, plus it doesn't hurt that Mizzou is located in my home state of Missouri

How you can rock PINK Mizzou gear

Mizzou is home of the Tigers, so naturally their colors are gold and black. While it might seem that this is difficult color combination to wear together  The VS PINK Mizzou Collegiate Collection not only makes it simple, but fun.


In addition to finding The VS PINK Mizzou Collegiate Collection at the Tiger Team Store and in Missouri Area Victoria's Secret stores you can find it online on VS PINK website.

South: Spelman College

At A Glance:

Location: Atlanta, GA 
Size Category: Small School (less than 5K students)

Why Spelman Made the VS PINK College Tour 

Spelman University is the Ivy League of HBCU (Historically Black Colleges/ Universities). Known and respected well beyond its Atlanta, Georgia hometown, Spelman is a small school compared to the others, but its small for a reason, out of the thousands of applications Spelman receives each year they only accept a few hundred.

How you can rock PINK Spelman gear

Spelman is one of few small schools that has its own VS PINK collection so their collection is limited, however their school colors of Blue and White go with just about anything you can dream of wearing.  



In addition to finding VS Pink Spelman gear in Georgia area Victoria's Secret stores you can find it online at the VS PINK Website.

West Coast: University of Southern California (USC)

Why USC Made the VS PINK College Tour 

While I was just begining to have fun, sadly I had to end the VS PINK College Tour somewhere, and why not end it in sunny California. University of Southern California not to be confused with University of South Carolina ( the other USC), is located right outside of Los Angeles and just minutes from the beach.
