DEAN: Yeah. You know, um, I wanted to tell you I applied to Southern Connecticut State …
RORY: Wait a minute, you do know that Southern Connecticut State is a four-year college?
DEAN: Yeah, I read that in the brochure.

Southern Connecticut State University, previously mentioned. It is located in New Haven, the same city as Yale. It feels as if the show was setting up a future plot line where Rory and Dean were both at university in the same city, but nothing ever came of it. Perhaps Dean changed his mind, or perhaps Jared Padalecki’s commitments to filming Supernatural meant that this idea fell by the wayside.
