Spagonia University is located deep in the heart of Spagonia, its main facility being an impressive building that showcase much of the town's artistic culture with its pillars, arches and eagle fountain. Its only room revealed through is Professor Pickle's study. Seemingly very prestige, it is attended by the majority of Spagonia's adolescents and teaches a number of classes, including archeology.[2] Besides that, Spagonia also offers a healthy environment where the students can openly mingle and socialize.
