|
| In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', a piece of paper found in [[Shy Guy Jungle]] is titled "Observations on the Ancient Civilization of the [[Chomp Ruins]]", and appears to have been written by Goombella while she attended the University of Goom.
| | [[Kolorado]], the [[Koopa]] archaeologist from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', was also one of Professor Frankly's students. As such, it is likely (although not confirmed) that Kolorado attended U Goom. This would also imply that the university was not strictly a school for [[Goomba]]s. |

| | Goombella's statements towards the beginning of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' imply that she had only recently arrived in Rogueport, seemingly confirming that U Goom is not located in the rogue-filled city. However, Goombella actually describes herself as "a student in Rogueport" on [http://www.papermario.com/launch/index.html the official ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' website], suggesting that she had not yet graduated and that the University of Goom is located in Rogueport. |
