Thank you for expressing an interest in Latverian State University. We are the oldest institute of higher learning in Greater Latveria, founded in 1732 by King Sherman IV, shortly before he met his untimely end in an equestrian accident involving a sharp saber and an opposing army.
Academics:
Latverian State has the best biology and chemistry departments in all
of Europe. We also boast the top-rated parapsychology and supernatural
studies departments in the world.
Our teaching staff consists entirely of eminent professors, including
several who the rest of the world believes to be dead. Our faculty also
lays claim to two Nobel laureates – who will be returning to teaching
as soon as their wounds heal.
While on-campus rooms are available, most students prefer to live in the quaint village of Doomsburg-on-Avon, due to cheap rent, cheaper beer, and easily impressed townspeople.
Please note that students living on campus may be required to participate in certain experiments.
Sports:
Since switching all teams to genetically-modified starting squads, the
Lat State Headless Horsemen have not lost a key sporting event. True,
L.I.T. won an upset victory in the 1996 LCAA Curling Championship, but
their team was later disqualified due to several extraterrestrial players.
Our students have their choice of many extracurricular activities. The most popular activities include our computer club, our neurotoxin team, the HAZMAT team, and synchronized swimming. Our Cloning Team is second-to-none, and our top student, Ben Reilly, recently moved to the United States and achieved some notoriety there.
I hope this information has piqued your interest in Latverian State University. We look forward to receiving your application and your non-refundable $250 application fee. Checques drawn on U.S. or EU banks only, please.
Sincerely,
Dr. Boris D. Pinkerdam, III
Acting President, Latverian State University
