'''Century City University'''. Is the result of a spatial and political mix-up. A villain named Doctor Distortion, back in the 1920s, attempted to take portions of the city hostage by pinching them off into extradimensional prison-bubbles - entire city blocks would simply disappear from the landscape as though they had never been. He was inspired by Einstein's theories of relativity and believed that if space was curved naturally, it could be twisted and manipulated artificially. He was right! But his scheme was foiled by the heroes of the time, and the destruction of his machine resulted in the creation of a new, large space in the center of the city, with everything naturally rearranged around it. It became politically difficult to do anything with it, as everyone who attempted to lay claim to or purchase the land was accused of being in league with Doctor Distortion in a complex double-play to obtain incredibly valuable real estate. Eventually, in order to ensure no one could be accused of having profited from crime, the land was donated to a not-for-profit and a university was established on the land. Century University is considered a prestigious school and the campus location is incredible. However, it has departments in some otherwise-disreputable fields like parapsychology, cryptozoology, et cetera, which occasionally embarrass the school. The flipside is that they also occasionally produce some results, which is weirdly even more embarrassing. Their interview with Bigfoot from five years back is one of the most-viewed videos on youtube, brought them tens of millions of dollars in money from donations and monetization, and resulted in the construction of a Bigfoot statute on campus that makes them a laughingstock to other schools. | '''Century City University'''.
