Vanderburg University

Founded in 2008 by Alexandria Vanderburg, Vanderburg University is a private college in Starlight City’s Hampton Park neighborhood. Currently funded by the Vanderburg estate, the college is still shaken by the death of its founder in May 2021. Vanderburg Library, just to its south, has an arrangement with the college allowing students to use it and work as interns at the library.

Although it’s very new as far as colleges go, VU has already expanded significantly and established a reputation for producing well-rounded students and attracting young, talented professors like Doctor le Fay and Doctor Mendel thanks to providing better benefits, pay, and stability than many colleges. It has an excellent botany department in particular thanks to its high-quality greenhouse.

The university's campus has a number of different buildings, including administrative, athletic, educational, dining halls, dormitories, and three quads: the Old Quad, the New Quad, and Frat Square. A handful of buildings aren't located on any quad: the Franklin Greenhouse is south of the Old Quad, Thornhill Stadium to its north, and the Arthur Thornhill Gym to the north of the New Quad. In addition, two parking lots are located to the northwest and southeast of campus, both including reserved parking for students and professors as well as public parking in the southern lot, which serves Vanderburg Library as well.

PCs can potentially be students or staff members. If they are students, they are not required to keep track of their classes and grades - however, if they choose to, they can do so here.
