Line 1:
A college in [[Newtown]] (a fictional city in the Northeast) where [[Tom Sloane]] was accepted during the movie ''[[Is It College Yet?]]'' (the college's only appearance or mention in the ''Daria'' series). [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] had attempted to get into Bromwell but was unable to do so. Tom's family has had a long relationship with Bromwell, extending over several geneations, and some family members have donated large sums of money to the college to sponsor new buildings. According to [[Kay Sloane]], Bromwell is about 3.5 hours from [[Raft College]] (in Boston) by car, which means Newtown is located somewhere in New England.
==Real Life Counterpart==
Bromwell is most likely modeled on Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, given the similarity in names between Newtown and New Haven. A throwaway line about "the pizza in Newtown" may also be a giveaway, as New Haven is famed for its pizza, at least among Yale students. It's possible, however, that another school is the model, as 3.5 hours is a very conservative estimate for driving time between New Haven and Boston.
