**Darryl Lict** , 2 points. **jali** , 3 points. Sunnydale is not the Baby-sitter’s club; West Beverly is not from Fresh Prince; Winslow is not from Saved By the Bell; Wossamatta U is not Hey Arnold!. **Sigmagirl** , Wossamatta U is indeed Rocky and Bullwinkle. 🙂 **DudleyGarrett** , 5 points. All correct! **Munch** , good guesses! But only 3 points, for Ayn Rand, Faber College, and the Xavier Institute. **Ponch8** , I’ll give you 2 points because you simulposted your answers with **Munch** ’s. **Sternvogel** gets a point for Miskatonic U. **Electronic Chaos** , 6 points for your unique answers. Here is what remains: Academy of Computer Sciences Barcliff Academy Beardsley School for Girls Bronto Crane Academy Command School Dotheboys Hall Earth Force Academy Furinkan High School Horace Green Preparatory School Huber Elementary Hugglestones Huxley College Io House Langley University Mayfield High School Middleton High New Athens Experimental School North High Oats Military Academy Owl Correspondence School Pendleton State University Retroville Elementary Rockland University Seaview Middle School Shiz University Skool Smeltings Spiteful Sisters of Seven-Handed Sek Charity School St. Bartleby’s School for Young Gentlemen Stonybrook Academy Swigmore University Thomas Aquinas Private Girls’ School Union Wells High School Walford High School Welton Academy Westbridge High Whitney High School Winslow High School Wordsmith University Worthington University ---
