Does the University have a name?

[Jawbreaker]

Is it Paragon U? Super U? 

[Apogee]

It is the Cultural Direction and Education Center (CDEC), of course,

 

[AlwaysAPrice]

Paragon City University, usually shorthanded PCU by NPCs, but it's also sometimes called just Paragon University so Paragon U is probably another common shortening.

Admissions officer Lenk in Steel Canyon refers to it as Paragon University.

 

Dean John Yu in Cap au Diable refers to his university as Rogue Island University.

 

Clearly, someone's university naming skills were nothing but P.U.

[Snarky]

I think the Croatoa campus is referred to as Miskatonic University

Phillip.  It's called Phillip.  It likes long walks on the main thoroughfare in Steel Canyon, rainy days with a bottle of Chateau Ohgodwhatisthis, and large groups of Circle of Thorns deep in its basements.

Wait, is this the fancy name for Mad Dog 20/20? 🤯

Back on live, before the cheerleader in her red and white uniform was handing out fliers on the Steel Canyon campus. I asked in the forum what was P.U.'s colors. I was making a cheerleader character and wanted to know. Not getting an answer I made my own university, a rival to P.U. (the chess matches are quite heated 😄 ) : Nebula "Stars" University, When the next update came there was the cheerleader indicating P.U.'s colors.  Does P.U. have a team name?

 

"Go Stars!" "Go, check, mate!"  Actually, my character was a lacrosse cheerleader (I don't think real lacrosse has cheerleaders).

 

You're welcome. 🙂

They literally named it PU (pee-yew, like a skunk)

Then the colors should be black and white...

Is it Super U? City of Heroes patch issue sounds interesting!

[Scarlet Shocker]

It's usually known as "Idungoto University"

Digging up some amusement from the depths of my memory...

 

We're slimy, we're squishy, we're all a little fishy,

And in this adventure, we'll be feasting on your brain!

We're abysmal creatures, with gross, horrific features;

in Cthulhic adventures, lose a lot of sanity!

And here's Miskatonic U., where all the creatures dwell.

Take one look in a Mythos book, and you'll go straight to hell!

Your guns aren't defective, they just aren't real effective.

Our feast on your immortal soul's about to start!

Your magic and voodoo will not stop Great Cthulhu,

Don't eat with the Tchoo Tchoo, and the Mi-Go steal your brain!

Here's dread Tsathoggua, and over there's Cthugha,

Don't forget Nyarlathotep, and Hastur hates his name!

So here's drowned R'lyeh where the angles are all wrong,

You'll lose your soul and go insane if you stay there too long!

We're slimy, we're squishy, we're all a little fishy,

Our feast on your immortal soul's about to start!

 

And now we'll eat your heart!

Apparently, it is just "The University"

"The University has opened campuses across Paragon City and the Rogue Isles." -https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/University

 

I only tend to refer to the one in Steel Canyon in my character bio's so I call it "Paragon City University"

It's arguably named Winthrop University. It only gets mentioned in some old Paragon Times articles and I believe the name was invented wholesale by the author of those articles. See: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Dr._Nathaniel_Bierce

 

However, it never comes up in-game, contradicts what is in-game, and you can just as easily assume it's some other university.

Well Universities get renamed, or have constituent colleges with their own name, so Winthrop could be the SC college of PU.
