The UNL University System is a collection of 12 public universities founded in 1975, with the University of New Liverpool and Howard Prince-Gonzalez University, a formerly private university. The intended goal of the university system as stated by its first President Jacob Herman was to "ensure every student can pursue any degree at a public institution". Each university within the current system is publically funded although the University of New Liverpool costs between $20,000 and $40,000 Makrs per year with regional UNL campuses being free if a student archives 1100 on the National Collegiate Exam or qualifies for federal aid programs.

History

The University of New Liverpool has existed since 1858, and upon its founding was the first public university in Slokais with its campus in the dense Market Road district. In 1897, UNL moved into a new land grant in what was then rural countryside. UNL remained one of the premier public universities despite the opening of new provincial public institutions. Additionally, UNL began its partnership with Howard-Prince Gonzalez in 1920, with HPGU becoming a post-graduate institution.

Addmissions

Almost every UNL System school utilizes the National Admissions Portal(NAP). The only exceptions are the Alejandro Vasquez School where prospective students must pass a 6-week program and UNL University of Fine Arts which uses a combination of interviews and portfolio reviews. In terms of rigor, HPGU remains the most selective with a 6.1% acceptance rate, and typically sees the highest academic performers apply. The University of New Liverpool has the largest number of applications per year, thus acceptance rates have been declining for the past 20 years. However, those rejected from UNL may be accepted as a transfer and be required to complete 2 years at a regional university. Overall, the UNL System uses a combination of National Collegiate Exam scores, grades received through the NAP, and personal recommendations. The admissions process has been criticized for favoring those from wealthy backgrounds, as the NCEs may not be paid for by specific schools, additionally, rural students are at a disadvantage as they don't have access to certain honor classes available to students at larger schools.

Rivalries

Southland River Rivarly

Contested between HPGU and Henry Lam College, both are often ranked within the top 10 universities for academics and thus their rivalry is both athletic and academic. Their rivalry began before Henry Lam existed, as there was opposition to the college being built just across the Southland River, as the college's modern design conflicted with the closed historic campus of HPGU. Today the campuses sit just over a kilometer apart. Much of the rivalry between the schools consists of increasingly elaborate pranks. For example in 2014, HPGU students discovered a colony of hawks living within the library stacks of Tanner Hall. Although both and considered sub-par athletically, the yearly drywall ball match between the two is considered a classic.
