Monsters University is the titular location in the 2013 Disney/Pixar animated film of the same name. It is the university attended by Sulley and Mike when they were younger, and when their friendship began.

Background[]

Founded in 1313 by Arthur Clawson, Monsters University has been a leading center of scholarship, scientific innovation, and juvenile hijinks since it first opened its towering gates.
Monsters University Fearbook

Monsters University is an educational institute located in the suburban areas of Monstropolis. The university was founded in 1313 by Arthur Clawson, following a land grant from the city.[1] At the time of the film's release, the university was celebrating its 700th anniversary.[2] It has six different schools of study: School of Scaring, School of Engineering, School of Liberal Arts & Monstrosities, School of Science, School of Business and School of Aquatics.[3] The School of Scaring has been ranked number one by the Monster News & Report for 143 consecutive years[4]; after graduation, students of the Scaring program typically find jobs with Monsters, Inc., Fear Co., or Scream Industries.[5] Like Monsters, Inc., Monsters University's logo is an "M" with an eyeball in it.

Monsters University has a rivalry with Fear Tech.[6]

After the events of Monsters Inc., the big change in the energy industry could have inspired the university to change the School of Scaring into the School of Laughing or School of Comedy to train future Jokesters. Furthermore, the school might also have to change the Scare Games into the Comedy Games or Laugh Games with the goal of competing in games based on the principles of making children laugh as hard as possible.

Official Description[]

The Monsters University campus is huge, and was created to feel like there’s a new possibility around every corner, as life should feel at that age. It also contains some of the most incredible works of architecture ever made including the School of Scaring. Monumental and awe-inspiring, the School of Scaring is the centerpiece of MU.

Trivia[]

  • The concept of a scare school existing in the Monster World dates back to the pre-production of the original film. In a "Monster World" timeline that served as an internal backstory for the film that was printed for the public in the Monsters, Inc. Employee Handbook and The Pixar Treasures, a "Monster Academy" was established around 1900 with a first graduating class being given a 1904 date. The Employee Handbook also mentions a "Monster U" within application forms as a potential educational background choice.
  • Monsters University is heavily based on American universities
  • Monsters University's library, Bohol Hall, named after Pixar artist Nelson Bohol who designed it.[3]
  • Unlike its rival Fear Tech (whose mascot is Archie the Scare Pig), it is unknown what Monsters University's sports mascot is.
  • Although there are twelve total fraternities and sororities,[7] we only see seven of these fraternities and sororities (four fraternities and three sororities) in the film.
  • The campus resembles that of the University of California at Berkeley, right down to the entrance gate and clock tower. UC Berkeley is the university that's closest to the Pixar headquarters.
  • The School of Scaring Building is based on Hamerschlag Hall at Carnegie Mellon University. It also resembles the H.P. Lovecraft monster Chthulhu, with its green dome resembling its head (and its skylights as eyes), and the columns around the entrance (which are decorated with fang-like protrusions) resembling its mouth tentacles
  • The year that Monsters University was established, 1313, is a reference to the address to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California (1313 Disneyland Drive, Anaheim, CA 92802).
