Senta University

Senta University is an educational institution located in Bellamy, University Prefecture, DesCha West. Founded in 1949, Senta is one of the Big Three (along with Momoyuri University and Miuradai University) and is well known for its caliber of education and technological achievement.
While Senta's primary campus is still located in Bellamy (occupying half the city), they have set up satellite campuses in other regions in order to increase collegiate attendance. Campuses have been set up in Bera, Sull Southport and Saiga.
The Bellamy Campus is a massive complex, involving several dozen buildings, multiple dorms for boarding students, and feeder institutions for various companies. The city of Bellamy has grown significantly due to Senta's presence.

Budget and fundraising

Senta's budget comes from multiple sources - a small part of its costs (less than 10%) are provided by the government, while the vast majority of its funding is private. Senta does not publicly disclose its list of its beneficiaries, but will allow corporate sponsorship of its programs from time to time.

Admission

Senta's primary and secondary education facilities are considered to be some of the best in the country.

School Wars

Every three or so years, students are encouraged to participate in the [[School Wars]], a friendly conflict between the Big Three. In previous School Wars the conflict has escalated to the point that it has endangered public safety (up to and including threat of thermonuclear annihilation) and DEIMOS agents had to be called in to quell the hostilities.
