Beacon Heights University

"Welcome to Beacon Heights University, where excellence is not an option. It's a requirement. Ranked as one of the most challenging programs in the US, students here are the best and brightest. If you thought getting in was hard, keeping up is even harder. At BHU we'll do whatever it takes to stay on top. We thrive under pressure and strive for perfection. But no one's perfect, and the pressure is building to a breaking point. And someone is about to snap... And kill."

- Ava Jalali
