* ''Webcomic/{{EVIL}} (the Elite Villain's Institute of Learning)'' combines this with AcademyOfEvil.

* ''Piled Higher and Deeper''

Many webcomic artists are college students or recent graduates, so it is [[LifeEmbellished only natural]] that many webcomics are also set in colleges. However, these institutions of higher learning are of often strange places even by the standards of WorldOfWeirdness: the faculty are all {{Mad Scientist}}s or [[SadistTeacher Incredibly Sadistic Bastards]], the buildings are often substandard, haunted and/or [[MadeOfExplodium highly explosive]], and as for the students...

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': Holliday College in the Golden Age of Comics, was a woman's college which went through deans quickly, often had Wonder Woman on campus, had a large sorority with bizarre and very public rituals like having pledges dress as an infant for an entire day or wear other fetishistic gear, had professors which would take students on expeditions to the other side of the world at the drop of a hat, and most of its students were actively involved in tracking down and fighting Axis spies during WWII.

* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}} Illuminati University'' takes place in a university that nearly defies description. The Dean of the history department is a CaptainErsatz of [[Series/DoctorWho the Fourth Doctor]], the Botany department is housed in a giant tree, the sample characters include a witch-girl, a cave-man, and a football-playing werewolf, and the favorite sport on campus is [[http://www.eblong.com/zarf/moopsball/index.html moopsball]].

* ''Series/{{Community}}'': Greendale, where everyone is accepted! And they offer an insane variety of exotic courses, hold annual paintball tournaments, and the Dean loves wearing inappropriate costumes. They once almost gave a dog a degree (she only had it withheld due to library fines), have come within inches of selling the school to Subway on multiple occasions, and made an anus their school flag [[FailedASpotCheck even after they realized what it was]] because [[HonorBeforeReason that's what the students voted for]].

** ''Mac Hall'' is notable in that it's at least semi-autobiographical (the name is short for Boyd and McConville's old dormitory, MacDonald Hall), so it's entirely possible the college they went to was actually somewhat like this.

* In a case of WhatCouldHaveBeen, ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' was originally going to be in a setting like this, until the author realized he couldn't draw nearly well enough to make the comic, and settled into writing the ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' SpriteComic that ran for seven years.

* Though it is only alluded to once, and we never hear about anything that happened there, Ramona Flowers from ''ScottPilgrim'' attended the University of Carolina in the Sky, which must have been...interesting.

* ''The Class Menagerie''
* ''UmlautHouse'' had this as its original premise, but dropped away from it almost immediately.
* ''Candi''

* ''{{Enjuhneer}}'' is set at one of these.

* ''{{Bardsworth}}''.

* The Succubus and Incubus Academy in ''DanAndMabsFurryAdventures''

** Like ''MacHall'' above, probably semi-autobiographical. There comes a point in an art student's life when some of the more basic classes, like color theory, start to feel like an insult to your intelligence.

* ''[[{{Walkyverse}} Roomies!]]'' at first.
* ''Fans''
