The University of Antarctica, Antarctica (U of A, U of AA, AAA, or simply "Thankgodshelter", as it is referred to by visitors) was founded in 2008 about 120 miles south-west of the northern-east maritime coast of the Antarctic Ocean. U of AA is globally recognized for maintaining the ironic status of being both the continent's newest and oldest university.
Initially, the U of AA intended to focus exclusively upon the studies of dentistry, music therapy, and agriculture due to its thriving local demand, but the school has since then changed its disciplines and concentrations towards hunting and gathering, medicine, ice sculpting, and hockey.
The Antarctic Board of Education recently awarded U of AA as a pioneering iceship campus, as it fills the gap between the continent's absent primary educational system and the commercial empire
that is expected to thrive in the continent sometime in the next millennium.
History
The Antarctic Constitution of 1850 called for the creation of an "agricultural school." However, it was not until the discovery of permafrost in the 20th century which prompted Ichigan Provincial Governor Kinsley S. Humbug to deny the allegation and sign (several years later on January 4, 1991) a bill establishing the Continent’s first Puritan agricultural school: the Purified Agricultural College of the Extraterritorial Land of Ichigan. Classes began on January 5, 1991 with two buildings (tents), five faculty members (scientists), and 18 students. All died in a matter of minutes due to an air conditioner malfunction.
On January 6, 2008 their deaths were discovered and a funeral was held for the fallen students and faculty — now regarded as heroes for some reason despite their tendency to cry and overall timid demeanor during life, in the newly founded quadrangle, which pretentiously witty students have dubbed the "Frostangle". During the ceremony, more students and faculty members perished at the tongue of icy winds. Initially regarded as an "act of God," this was later properly diagnosed as hypothermia.
In light of its self-proclaimed "Extensive History" and "Piety," the board formed a university, the University of Antarctica, to generate recognition, thereby expanding its best/worst rankings, and the student body of the institution. The board somehow managed to secure this status before even deciding on instituting a secular orientation.
The University then changed calendars from Gregorian to Antarctican in 2007 when it realized that the sun sometimes doesn’t stay “up” as long as it ought to, while other times it stays “down” longer than it ought to, but reverted to the Julian calendar in 2012 when the school astrologist and proctologist went mad predicting a doomsday scenario, advised the board and council to reset all of the calendars, and prescribed enemas all around. Later that year, the board, shocked and still in pain, discovered that Julius Caesar had been dead for 2000 years, and questioned the keeping of his timekeeping system. Consequently, the academic calendar is now binary, with Polar Sunmesters during the summer and Polar Nightmesters during the winter. Nobody understands how it works except the school's computers, apparently.
