The school depicted in the TV series Grown-ish is California University of Liberal Arts, known as Cal U.
Cal U is a fictional university created for the series, which premiered on Freeform in 2018 as a spin-off of Black-ish. The story initially follows Zoey Johnson as she leaves home and begins college, navigating friendships, relationships, identity, academic pressure, and early adulthood.
The school is presented as a large California campus with dormitories, student organizations, athletics, professors, and a diverse student body. Although it is fictional, its setting and culture have been described as drawing on familiar Southern California universities. The series avoids tying its storylines to one real institution, giving the writers more freedom to invent campus traditions and fictional controversies.
Zoey graduates from Cal U at the end of the fourth season. The fifth season shifts focus to her younger brother, Andre “Junior” Johnson, who attends the same university. Because the show consistently shortens California University of Liberal Arts to Cal U, the stored answer is the standard canonical response rather than an incomplete or misleading abbreviation.
