@ Other people who write: I stand corrected. Like I said, come one, come all to bounce ideas off of each other, or just to put them down in writing to sort of "talk out loud." This is a thread entirely dedicated to creative brainstorming and constructive criticism.

@ Uni name: Well, while I do plan on having this story rooted pretty solidly in reality, it's not just fiction, it's a survival horror story with zombies, lol. I'm going to be taking some liberties now and again. That being said, after giving it some thought, I'm fairly certain I don't want to use an RL university, but would like for my fictional university to be very believable, sort of like Lovecraft's Miskatonic University or Vonnegut's Tarkington College (both of which have been used by several other authors). I'm still torn over whether to come up with an original one or to borrow Miskatonic, though. I think one of my primary concerns over coming up with an original name is that I worry that it might be too similar to Miskatonic and potentially seen as a sort of ripiff.

It really is a very minor issue (certainly when compared to some of my broader issues with the plot), but an issue that needs solving, nonetheless.
