Konomi of Dango Island
MOST RECENT UPDATE 6/25: Hello! I wanted to check in with everyone to let them know that I still fully intend on making this idea happen. I have set a starting date of July 21st, regardless of how completed my island is. I intend on at least having the university and dormitory ready by then! I want to check in with everyone to pick a proper date to begin classes, but this is going to at least be an orientation date unless otherwise stated. Feel free to apply! I will accept applications until July 10 just so I get an idea as to how many people are interested at first. Thank you very much!
UPDATE (PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING): After having some feedback from people regarding my initial idea of charging tuition, I decided that it really was unfair of me to charge a "tuition" cost as the whole point of this is for people to have fun! I apologize if I made it seem unfair and hope that my changes will have a more positive feedback! So, if you are admitted, consider yourself as a full-tuition scholarship recipient!! Rather than accept tuition and rooming payments, I will make tips optional! Tips can include furniture, clothing, items, and/or bells that you believe could help not only your Dango U experience, but others in the future. I hope that you will consider applying and am excited to welcome you soon!
Note: So this is an idea I had the other day and I figured to act on it as it could be a way to not only make friends, but to also welcome people to my island. This is meant to be an interactive event! Feel free to apply!
Introducing Dango University, the top ranking institution in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Full of various different majors and programs, we are excited to welcome you later this month! The institution is comprised of one main building and one dormitory where students may reside if they so wish.
