Urey University is an institution of higher learning in North America on Earth.

It has a large xenobiology research department occupying at least two buildings and featuring dozens of animals, including a rare mature vrell and a Rykunian octopus. The university may have an observatory at Galileo Tower.

The university is accessible via speedwalk to a city that has a seafood restaurant and theater. The city’s authorities have several one-man armed hovercraft. 


 * Urey University was probably named after Harold Clayton Urey. Urey won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering deuterium. He was also known for the Miller-Urey experiment, a test that researched the origins of life on Earth. In the test, when early Earth atmospheric gases were subjected to early planetary conditions, the gases formed complex amino acids, building blocks for life. He has an asteroid and lunar crater named after him.
