Most people know each college or university has a distinct personality and attracts a certain kind of person. I have taken some time to look into these "personalities" that reflect each of the Big East schools. The best way to compare these personalities of major universities can best be compared to the drastically varied personalities found in the characters of the NBC comedy series. "The Office." I'm sure you will disagree with some, but I found these fit the best.
Butler University: Stanley Hudson
Much like the mascot, Stanley Hudson is a bulldog with a solid business education. He knows what's up without the fuss or frills of a major marketing or sales complex that he takes to his 9-5 each and every day. Stanley is a Butler bulldog through and through.
Creighton University: Dwight Shrute
A very confident man, Dwight Shrute has a convincing degree from a solid school that does not pride itself on the issues of Ivy or not, etc. He takes pride in the work his degree taught him to do. He is a no fuss, no frills man who is happy to live in farmland and stay away from the major cities.
DePaul University: Pam Beasley
One of the most ~artsy~ schools in the Big East, Pam would've gone there to explore a more holistic education which allowed her to delve into her varying passions. DePaul gave Pam confidence in her work as an artist, secretary, and saleswoman.
Georgetown University: Oscar Martinez as a Person
Clearly the most intellectually involved individual in the office, Oscar would have gone to Georgetown. He is educated at a high level in just about everything. He is not a know-it-all... well actually he is, but he is knowledgable and helpful about most and any topics.
Marquette University: Phyllis Vance
As a nice, quiet woman, Phyllis knows her stuff when it comes to interpersonal communications, which helps her in her career as a saleswoman. She is a homebody and is married to a successful local businessman (Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration). Her life is oddly put together in her meek way. A soft-hearted woman, Phyllis benefitted from the caring community of Marquette.
Providence College: Michael Scott
A super fan of all things PC (Providence College), Michael Scott has a solid degree, but he sure had his fun at PC. He will talk anyone's ear off about how he loves it there and how great it is. He supports all his PC sports teams and still lives recalling the best times he had there... as a 40 year old mid-level manager at a regional paper supply company.
St. John's University: Oscar Martinez as an Accountant
A school where finance and accounting are the most popular majors, Oscar is clearly vetted in his abilities in the accounting department. He is knowledgable about world issues, invested in his work, and assured in his wisdom. Oscar is the best accountant (arguably) on "The Office."
Seton Hall University: Angela Martin
The very prestigious school is where Angela Martin gained her solid accounting knowledge from, with it being one of the more popular majors at Seton Hall. No nonsense is her middle name. Seton Hall is a no frills school that delivers good education, an educational experience someone like Angela would love.
Villanova University: Jim Halpert
Clearly having studied business and knowing all the ins and outs of the sales world, Jim would've gone to Villanova. He is very sociable like most students at the school. He can schmooze better than any other salesman. He's athletic like the Wildcat's basketball team.
Xavier University: Andrew Bernard
A musketeer at heart, Andy got his sales degree from Xavier, where he was also prominent in the theatre program and is often prided on his degree. He knows his stuff about sales, but he also loves to be theatrical and that often creeps into his professional life. His liberal arts education causes his passion and profession to often mix together.
"The Office" is the most comedically involved and applicable show to college and school Identifications. Therefore, to get people to understand the dynamic between the Big East schools is much like a workplace, putting these characters into this perspective allows for the personalities and prominent majors of each school in the conference to be displayed in a unique and accurate light.
