Hanover Institute of Technology

Located across the Wading River from FCU is the Hanover Institute of Technology, or HIT. Where better to learn the skills for the “City of Tomorrow” than at one of the finest technical schools in the nation? HIT compares favorably with CalTech and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. HIT has a rivalry with FCU over the cutting-edge status of their comparative scientific resources and programs.
The HIT campus spreads along the northern bank of the Wading River, occupying more than a dozen low brickfront buildings and some other, more modern, structures.
Its strong technical focus embraces renowned programs in computer programming, engineering, chemistry, and physics. While HIT remains at the forefront in other fields, FCU outshines the Institute in biology and biochemistry. HIT students have reputations not only as “science geeks” but also as inveterate pranksters, usually targeting FCU or their own rivals on the HIT campus. Some student pranks have escalated to the point of involving Freedom City's heroes to deal with out-of-control robots or “cerebro-modem” transmitters, to name a few.
