My Hero Academia's U.A. high school is about as strange as a high school could be, and here are 10 things about it that just make no sense.

My Hero Academia is definitely at the very top in the popularity charts when it comes to shonen series that burst onto the scene. It's easy to see why this is the case; the story is extremely engrossing, the fights are the very definition of spectacle, the characters are truly one-of-a-kind, and the setting of the series feels familiar yet unique at the same time.

The main reason why the setting of My Hero Academia is so riveting is because of the central high school that houses the most promising budding superheroes of Japan, U.A. High School. This institution is considered to be the best place for superheroes to achieve greatness, and their alumni definitely prove that in spades. That being said, there are still several things about this school that make absolutely no sense in the grand scheme of things, especially considering its elevated status. In fact, there are even some glaring instances where U.A. feels like the most nonsensical institute ever created.

10 The Hierarchy Present In The School Feels Incredibly Flawed

One of the biggest problems in U.A. comes from something as basic as the manner in which classes are designed, to the point that it becomes pretty apparent when the institute itself acknowledges the fact that certain students are inferior to others. How does this do anything other than demoralizing students who are pretty much forced into thinking that they'll never compare to the other students in U.A.?

9 Mineta Being In Class 1-A Is Simply Ridiculous

Speaking of which, one must wonder what kinds of strings Mineta's family pulled if such an inept superhero also managed to make it in the best class of U.A. His Quirk isn't really anything spectacular and only offers a certain vertical degree of mobility, and nothing else. Is that really enough to be counted as one of the best hero prospects in Japan?

8 The Number Of Faculty Seems Extremely Less

For a school that harbors more than 600 students—given the fact that there are around 20 students per class, a total of 11 classes, and three years, as well—it's worrying that the number of faculty shown don't seem to be enough to handle so many students.

However, viewers are still made to believe that the classes in U.A. actually go by without a hitch, which is extremely hard to believe.

7 The Entrance Exam Is Incredibly Dangerous

For a school that is struggling to maintain its image in current times, it's rather weird how dangerous its entrance exam really is. Is it really wise for a bunch of adults to stick teenagers in a battle against massive robots that can wallop them with little to no issues? Because it certainly seems like a foolhardy move from a logical standpoint.

6 The Events Can Be Downright Barbaric At Times

As if the entrance exam wasn't horrible enough as is, U.A. also hosts a ton of events that pretty much turn their students into gladiators as they fight against each other to the delight of crowds all around Japan. Not only does this seem downright unnecessary at times, but this entire set-up also makes the event seem a bit too barbaric and gratuitous for schoolchildren in general.

5 The Safety Of The School Is Quite Woeful

Another thing that U.A. should definitely be criticized for is the fact that the security of the school itself feels rather lax at times, with the most glaring example of this coming when the League of Villains invaded the school's Unforeseen Simulation Joint and could've potentially harmed numerous students.

With all the problems of this school that have been discussed up to this point, there's one underlying aspect about My Hero Academia's universe as a whole that needs to be addressed.

4 It's Weird How The Parents Haven't Sued The School Yet

The fact that Midoriya's mom pretty much begged her son to stop with his hero activities so that she could stop worrying him is a testament to just how nerve-wracking it should realistically be for the parents of hero students to expose their children to such dangers on a daily basis. But, instead of everyone sharing the same concerns as Ms. Midoriya, it seems that parents in this universe are more than content with endangering their child, as long as it reaps results.

3 Budding Students Have No Business Being In Major Life-Threatening Conflicts

The fact that the first-year students of My Hero Academia are chosen to be members of Hero Missions that are incredibly dangerous and feature villains with fatal abilities is a testament to just how lackadaisical U.A. really is when it comes to the safety of their students.

In an ideal world, there's absolutely no way that teachers would want their students to be a part of such death-defying missions in the first place.

2 The Government Should've Cracked Down On U.A. A Long Time Ago

After a point, one can't really shift the blame of all this negligence on the shoulders of U.A. or the parents, it's the job of the government to secure the future of its citizens, especially members of the generation that will carry forward the legacy of their predecessors. However, it seems the Japanese Government is pretty okay with the atrocities being committed by U.A., which is rather weird indeed.

1 U.A. Being The Number One High School For Heroes Is Incredibly Hard To Believe

With all the problems that have been discussed up till now, one can't help but contest the idea that U.A. is actually the best school around when it comes to generating a swath of talented superheroes. It's pretty clear that students in U.A. are facing one trial after another. However, everyone is somehow batting an eye to this, so no one really bothers trying to question U.A.'s status as the best high school for superheroes.
