going to college/university in gotham city would be so wild???

• a student who forgets to sort out their accommodation until the last minute and ends up moving into mr freeze’s hideout because everywhere else in town is full. still beats dorms i guess.
• the welcome assembly is 6 hours long and most of it is what to do if you encounter the joker or batman or some other hero or villain and how the police are essentially useless.
• non-gothamite students being freaked out over why the gothamite students aren’t panicking when their campus coffee shop gets held up by harley quinn and poison ivy.
• city-wide catastrophes are not an excuse for getting out of finals week.
• the black market is incredibly easy to access in gotham and ends up getting used by students wanting to make a quick buck by writing other people’s essays or stealing answers off tests. beware ex-psychology professors who do not take kindly to cheaters.
• not being sure whether the sound you’re hearing is an explosion somewhere in town or just your neighbor’s music at 3AM. 
• did you just see nightwing pass by your window or are you hallucinating from lack of sleep? 
• riddler crashes the university’s servers, causing untold fear and panic to the students who had left their essays to the very last minute to turn in.
• iceberg lounge is to be avoided, the drinks are so damn expensive and the nightlife is usually lousy unless batman’s doing a raid on the place.  
• any drunk student could easily be taken in as a new batman villain. one minute you’re at a fancy dress party having a good time, the next thing you know you’re waking up in a jail cell with a suspicious, batarang shaped scar and the tabloids calling you Donkey Girl. 
• every student thinks they can be robin within the first two weeks of moving to gotham. this usually does not end well. 
• seeing two-face chilling at mcdonald’s on your friend’s snapchat story and not even being surprised at this point. 
• no need to set an alarm for a 14 minute nap, batgirl will probably come crashing through your window anyway. 
• most people want to bang either someone from the batfam or the rogues gallery. some have even attempted it.
• fear toxin is put in the vents one time but almost no one is affected. everybody is already terrified for exams. 
• most dorm rooms have an “adopt me batman” sign hanging from the windows, or variations of that (”adopt me catwoman” is a pretty popular one too)
