Hey guys, I've been on the college search recently and something caught my attention - a lot of schools seem to have the same mascots. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what college mascot is used the most?
Hello there! It is interesting to see how many different colleges use similar mascots. The most common college mascot is the eagle. This bird is often associated with strength and freedom, which many colleges and universities like to encapsulate in their mascot. Examples of colleges that have an eagle as their mascot are Boston College, American University, and Georgia Southern University, among many others. Remember though, even if mascots are the same animal, each school gives it a unique spin with different characteristics, names, and designs.
