The **Boston University of Mechanics and Technology** (ボストンの力学とテクノロジー大学, *Bosuton no Rikigaku to Tekunorojī Daigaku*) is one of the United States of America's most prestigious universities, standing on the same level as famous universities such as Harvard. It is known to offer scholarships to talented students from all over the world, leading the school's population to be extremely diverse.

The school's system organizes students by their time spent in the school, although it sometimes does not reflect the actual time spent there in the case of demoted students. It is said to be an exclusive, top-notch school for the technologic industry and is noted for its difficult entrance exam. The school's curriculum lasts four years.

## History

Founded in the midst of the 19th century, prior to the apparition of Quirks

## Classes

### Instructors

All the teachers at the university are known for possessing multiple degrees and were once top students in their respective schools, with some instructors having even received prizes for their discoveries and contributions to bettering society such as Nobel Prizes.

### Students

Students are sorted into several different levels of classes, each called after the time spent in the school. In total, there are four levels: **First Year**, **Second Year**, **Third Year** and **Fourth Year**, after which the student receives a diploma and is able to graduate. Students in these levels each have a particular name and are usually refered to as such when their name is unknown. It can also either be a mark of respect or disrespect, depending on who calls them. These names are **Freshman**, **Sophomore**, **Junior** and **Senior**.

It is possible for instructors to demote the students to lower classes if they are not performing up to standards, or to expel them if by the end of the year, their grades are unsufficient to consider them worth keeping. On the contrary, the students that performed spectacularly during their first, second or third year are grouped in a particular type of class, the **Honor Class**, which counts a mesh of sophomores, juniors and seniors with outstanding grades.

At the beginning of the year, all students partake in the opening ceremony, with first years having the rest of the day technically free of classes to serve as an orientation day.

* **First Year:** Regroups the freshmen that typically come out of high school, with students generally being around 18 or 19 years old.
* **Second Year:** Regroups the sophomores, with students generally being around 19 or 20 years old.
* **Third Year:** Regroups the juniors, with students generally being around 20 or 21 years old.
* **Fourth Year:** Regroups the seniors, with students generally being around 21 or 22 years old. At the end of the year, they take part in the graduation ceremony, in which they receive their diplomas and can sometimes get scouted by representatives of Yuka Corp.
* **Honor Class:** A special level that can be accessed by students with outstanding results from the Second Year all the way til the Fourth. At extremely rare occasions, students from the First Year can be considered good enough to enter the class, but they need both a recommendation letter from the Principal and to stay at the top of their class for three to four months, at which point they can only take the supplementary classes associated with the Honor Class and not entirely leave their class level just yet.
Students from this class are called **Honor Students** and assigned harder assignments, on top of more hours of class. They are given a certain number of privileges, such as the freedom to spend their night wherever they want on the campus but also outside, and are sure to get scouted by famous corporations associated with the school such as Yuka Corp. However, the class is extremely demanding and students often get demoted, making it near impossible to stay a Honor Student for the entirety of their years in the school.

## Locations

It holds many different locations within its property perimeters which range from the school's academic building and dormitories, shops and a gymnasium for the school's sports team.
