Alma mater

The entrance of La Universidad de La Habana in Havana, Cuba with Alma Mater in the front

Alma Mater (1929, Lorado Taft), University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign
Alma mater (Latin alma "nourishing/kind", mater "mother"; pl. [rarely used] almae matres) is a term that was used in ancient Rome as a title for various mother goddesses, especially Ceres or Cybele,[1] and later in Christianity for the Virgin Mary. In many modern languages it is principally heard as a term of academia. It may also refer to the school, college or university from which an individual has graduated or which they have attended, and is usually the one from which one has received a bachelor's degree or associate's degree– i.e., where one is considered an alumnus/alumna.[2] The term may also refer to a song or hymn associated with a school.[3]

'Like a s**g on a rock'

If someone feels like a s**g on a rock, they are lonely or isolated. A s**g is an Australian bird that often perches alone on a rock.
