What is the name of the school in the 2007 movie "Stomp the Yard"?
Answer
Truth University
Answer
Truth University
The school in the 2007 movie “Stomp the Yard” is Truth University. The fictional college is a historically Black university in Los Angeles, where D.J. Williams enrolls after moving from the East Coast.
The film follows D.J. as he adjusts to college life and becomes involved in stepping, a highly synchronized form of percussive dance associated with Black Greek-letter organizations. He joins the fictional fraternity Theta Nu Theta and competes against rival Gamma Phi Beta in major step competitions.
Truth University is not a real institution; it was created for the movie’s story. The film’s setting and fraternity culture draw on real historically Black colleges and universities and the traditions of Black Greek-letter organizations. A common mix-up is confusing Truth University with the fraternity names or with the real colleges used as filming locations. The movie was directed by Sylvain White and stars Columbus Short as D.J. Williams.
