Blix University

Blix University''' is the oldest post-secondary institution in Delongo, outside of Rupertland and New London. It was created in 1824 by Ronald Kay Blix through an act of his government. It is known as one of the most prestigious and advanced universities in the world. The university is composed of 122 independent schools, institutes, and departments. The Collège Mitte is known as one of the best schools for Humanities educations. The Avitus School of the Arts was a 1960s consolidation of dozens of schools of social sciences. The Konig Medical School is the best medical school in the world, according to the Newland Reporter.

Blix University has long been known as the "most socialist" or "progressive" universities in the world-- even called "communist" by some. It has had a socialist presence on campus since its establishment, and was home to some of the most vehement USSR supporters in the West throughout the Cold War. The socialist legacy continues to be represented at BU: the two largest residences are named after Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh, the main Avitus School Economics building is named after Karl Marx. The Marx-Engels Socialist Studies Institute remains the head of global socialist studies in the world. Self-proclaimed communist leader and current President of the PDRD Katie Lee was an adjunct professor at Blix University briefly.

The Blix University was a founding member of International Education Group (IEG), an organization committed to maintaining academic rigour standards at universities worldwide.

Avitus Campus
BU is located in Blix on South Blix Island, alongside the Avitus River in the borough of Allhallon. The Avitus Campus, which is the primary campus, can be accessed most easily via Soleil Boulevard. The Avitus Campus is situated south of New China Park, in the Avitus River valley.

Despite the Avitus Campus' location below Soleil Boulevard, the campus is remarkably quiet, due to the low elevation (17m, instead of 108m). The campus was first established in 1860 with the construction of the still-standing Avitus House alongside the Avitus River. The Avitus Campus was made the primary campus in the 1950s, and became the primary campus during the 1960s, as BU's facilities had until then not been in a single area.

The Avitus (Main) Campus housing is built into the Avitus Canyon, and holds over 95% of the BU residence population.

The main hospital of Blix University is located near the Avitus Campus, called the Blix General Hospital - Avitus. It is one of the most advanced hospitals in the city and in the world.

Transport: Soleil/Avitus metro station, Soleil/Upper Blix University metro station.

Other campuses
BU also has facilities throughout the Urban Blix Area, and the world. BU has maintained a presence in Marci Square longer than Allhallon, but has never had a fully-fledged campus there.

Until the 1960s, BU had a strong presence in Blix Heights, where its then-primary campus was situated. However, a push for a relocation to the Northly quarter was pressing as the campus deteriorated. In 1968, BU sold what remained of its Blix Heights Campus to the newly established North Atlantic University, which continues to operate at that location. Since 1968 there have been no BU buildings in Blix Heights, except for the affiliated Blix Heights Regional Specialised Health Centre (BHRSH).

Other hospitals (besides Avitus) affiliated with BU include the Blix Jewish General Hospital in Bankshire, the Blix Children's Hospital in Marci Square, and the Upper East Marci Mental Health Centre in Marci Square. The Konig Medical School maintains a Department of Psychiatry building adjacent to the UEMMHC and a building next to the BCH-MSq. BU's second-largest campus (Bankshire Campus) is located next to the BJGH in Bankshire-- however, it is significantly smaller than Avitus, and is mostly home to Medicine and Science buildings.

The third largest campus is the Huang Campus in Manlieu, which is home to the Huang Business School of Blix University.

Governance and colleges
Schools and colleges are independently managed units for the specialised development of programs, but all are affiliated with a faculty (which occasionally is only composed of the school). Departments can be housed within the schools/colleges and/or within Faculties. E.g. Veterinary Science is not affiliated with a school/college, but is a department of the Faculty of Sciences.
