College is a Level that first appeared in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 and is the first Level of Career Mode in that game and THPS4 Skate Tour in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4.
Layout[]
This medium-sized college campus contains several buildings including a class hall, a dormitory building, and a dining hall - all of which the player can enter. A few other buildings are included but are inaccessible. The campus is situated in a city where the player may skate around also, with the exception of two streets that cannot be entered as they are out of bounds areas.
A Nokia airship can be seen roaming around the College.

Minigames[]
Garbage Day!!![]
The player can start the game, which is located near the frat house. The game gives you 40 seconds to collect money above the street while skating in one of four garbage truck half-pipes. Each bill is worth $50 and once you collect ten the minigame is complete.
Tennis[]
Adjacent to the basketball court is a tennis court where the minigame can be played. The player must win four serves of the ball to win a prize of $500. The ball will be returned at Slow, Medium, and Fast speed based on how close the player is to it.
Capacitor[]
The minigame can be started by performing a lip trick on the quarterpipe of the small green generator in front of the sporting goods store.
A voltage percent will steadily climb and then blow the capacitors at 100. To reduce the voltage the player will need to grind the glowing powerlines. Once the percentage is reduced to zero, the player wins $500.
Origin[]
The College is situated in California and based on University of California-Berkeley. At the early stage of development there were rumors that the whole game would take place in California.
Notable landmarks include:
- Sproul Hall
- Sproul Hall Plaza
- Cezar Caves Students Center (combined with Alumni House)
- South Hall (red brick building)
- Edwards Stadium (including the outer stands, wall and ticket booths)
- Student Union building (heavily modified)
- Campanile Esplanade (clock tower)
- Sather Gate
- California Theatre
- Tang Center
- Telegraph Channing Parking Garage (formerly known as Sather Gate Parking Garage)
- Strawberry Creek
Trivia[]
- College may be loosely referred to as "School 3," hence the "Sch" in the prefix of the College game files.
- There is an actual stadium outside the College, but the skater can't access it. There are football players training outside, suspiciously sharing the same number - 69.
- One of the buildings in the middle is called "Johnson Hall" and supposedly established in 1948 by "Hugh G. Rection"
- College and Zoo are the only levels in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 to have three playable mini-games.
- It is possible to jump into the back of the clock tower and launch out from the top of it.
- There is a hidden tennis ball under one of the buildings; this is possibly a bug or a placeholder.
- In one of the demos of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, there was an easter egg that occurred in the frat house; when the player started a manual in said frat house, a timer would appear onscreen. when the timer expired a female NPC would walk through a door. This could be repeated as long as the manual was held. This easter egg was taken out by the game's full release.
- There are 2 C-O-M-B-O letters that are out of bounds at the College spawn point. They are both unobtainable and aren't used for any missions.
