Goddamn. Didn’t realize schools/universities were such a major element in world building. Now I have to add one to my fictional universe.

Question: What are examples of fictional weird universities/schools? Eg. Hogwarts, Professor X's Mutant School, Unseen University in Discworld... what are some other good ones. Especially that aren't just lazy ports of ordinary schools but have some unique worldbuilding.

It might be easier to list major works that do *not* feature a school/university/education folkway. The Culture series comes to mind. There appear to be no significant educational institutions. Everyone is kinda an autodidact, though SC agents seem to get some training.
