Shared universe

A shared universe is a fictional universe in which multiple independently created works are set. One or more authors may contribute works to a shared universe. The works within the universe may share characters and other story elements, with or without continuity. Shared universes can be found in literature, comic books, films, television, anime and manga and are most commonly seen in fantasy and science fiction genres.

A good example of the shared universe in action is this after-end-credits scene from the film Iron Man (2008) where Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) cross paths for the very first time:

(after end credits)
Tony Stark: (arriving home) Evening, JARVIS!
Jarvis: (voice distorted) Welcome home, sir...
(Stark stops as he sees a figure in his living room)
Nick Fury: "I am Iron Man". You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet.
Tony Stark: Who the hell are you?
Nick Fury: Nick Fury. Director of SHIELD.
Tony Stark: Ah.
Nick Fury: I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative.

Bethel University

A small Christian college in St. Paul, Minnesota that considers themselves "a little more liberal" than other Christian schools just because 2% of campus ends up at the hockey house on Friday nights drinking a {Four Loko.

Normal College Student: "Dude I totally blacked out on Friday night in a frat basement then woke up in the middle of street at 4am covered in my own vomit. It was a pretty wild time."

Bethel University student: "Oh yeah, one of my buddies' buddy's roommates was at the hockey house on Friday night. Bethel definitely knows how to party."

University of Oxford

Best and most prestigious university in the world. Where the rebels from Cambridge came from when they started a failed version of it. Also the real life Hogwarts.

I wish I could go to the University of Oxford, it's the best in the world!
