Which university did Gregory House attend for medical school in House M.D.?

Gregory House attended the University of Michigan for medical school in House M.D.

The series establishes that House studied at the University of Michigan Medical School before beginning his medical career. His educational background helps explain his expertise in diagnosis, although the show focuses much more on his methods and personality than on the details of his student years.

House’s academic history is easy to mix up with the institutions associated with the fictional hospital setting. Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital is where he works, not the university where he attended medical school. Johns Hopkins is also mentioned in House’s backstory, but it is connected to his earlier academic and professional history rather than being the medical school answer.

The University of Michigan is a real public research university in Ann Arbor, Michigan. House M.D. uses real institutions in parts of its character history while placing the main hospital and diagnostic department in a fictional New Jersey setting.
