Acme Looniversity (often referred to as Acme Loo by its students) is a high school (university in the reboot) located in Acme Acres, and is where most of the main characters go to school to be taught by famous Warner Brothers characters including Bugs Bunny.
The word "Looniversity" in the name is a play on "university," but despite the pun, Acme Looniversity is actually a high school, which means that the students who attend there are minors. The Topps cards list the main 8 students as being 13-14, which is usually first-year. Graduates of Acme Looniversity receive a "Diploma of Lunacy", giving them the opportunity to become full-time cartoon characters.
The Great and Powerful Principal of Looniversity is a giant flaming head, colored green or orange; it is revealed in the "Looniversity Daze" segment "The Learning Principal" that the principal is a machine controlled by Bugs Bunny, similar to how the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz is a machine controlled by a man. Acme Loo's rival is Perfecto Prep and several episodes revolve around Acme Loo's students competing against the Perfecto Prep alumni, usually in sporting events.
It is also a place in which the Looney Tunes characters take a break from trying to kill each other.

Trivia[]
- The school has a flag which has a purple coat of arms with two red ribbons protruding from it as well as Bugs Bunny holding a boulder on one side and Daffy Duck holding up a wooden mallet on the other upon a gold banner.
- Acme Looniversity's teams are called the "Toonsters" and the colors are medium royal blue and white. Their school song is based on many college theme songs (with a goofy twist of course). Their main rival is the Perfecto Prep University. They are usually underdogs in every sport, however usually managing to somehow beat the Perfectos if by only 1 point.
- Despite most of the classes at Acme Looniversity focusing on cartoon acting and the whatnot, there are some classes like Biology where they have to dissect something and Math.
- Because of their physical appearance, many of the kids who first watched the show during its original 1990s run had believed that Acme Looniversity and the students were all elementary students instead of high school teens.
- In Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain, the school became Chuck Norris Elementary School but only Elmyra attends that school.
School Song[]
Three Cheers for ol' Acme Loo,
Who cares that our team stinks, P-yew!
We're going to try to the day we die,
Cause' we're Toonsters, Boop boop de boo!
