If you don't know what New Girl is, you are definitely missing out. New Girl is considered the Friends of this generation. Currently going strong on its sixth season, the dedicated following is impressive and I am a devoted member. I once cut my bangs hauntingly similar to the way Cece's are cut... let's just say that they work better on her!
In my opinion, if each of the main characters were Virginia state schools, I believe this is how it would look...
(Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion.)
1. Jessica Day - Virginia Commonwealth University
Jess is a firecracker full of life and has many different interests. VCU is known for its academic and cultural diversity and there is definite connection between Jess and those ideals.
2. Nick Miller - Old Dominion University
Nick is a total free spirit in that he doesn't restrict himself to one path. ODU is a school with people from all over and studying so many different things that they seem one and the same, but is also not as strict and doesn't have the stature that others may.
3. Schmidt - University of Virginia
Schmidt is borderline OCD, such a stickler, preppy as all hell, and also very revered in the eyes of his friends, similar to UVa. A school that is known for its pomp and circumstance with the public school system.
4. Cece Parikh - George Mason University
Cece is a gorgeous model who realizes she doesn't necessarily want what she has and tries to find a new road for her life. People that go to GMU are similar to Cece, you go in lost, and come out found!
5. Coach - James Madison University
Coach is obviously the most athletic and is a gym teacher and he just kind of reminds me of JMU being a combination of a party school and career school.
6. Winston Bishop - Virginia Tech
Winston finds his way into something he loves and follows that path. People who go to Tech are warm and know what they want.
