Represent college as a stream of ascii characters?

There's no single "correct" representation, as it depends on the desired level of detail and the specific interpretation of "college." Here are a few options:

Option 1 (Simple):

```

C O L L E G E

```

This is a straightforward representation using only the letters of the word.

Option 2 (More evocative):

```

📚🎓🏛️📖✏️

```

This uses Unicode characters to represent common college-related objects: books, graduation cap, government building, open book, and pencil. These aren't ASCII, however. To stick to ASCII, we would need to use text descriptions.

Option 3 (ASCII description):

```

A place of higher learning, with books, students, and professors.

```

This is a longer but more descriptive representation.

Option 4 (Abbreviated ASCII):

```

Higher Ed

```

The best option depends on your context. If you truly need pure ASCII, Option 3 or 4 are your only real choices. If Unicode is allowed, Option 2 is much more visually evocative.
