In the film Officer And A Gentleman, there is a scene where all of the recruits must escape from a helicopter that is dropped into a tank of water where it turns upside down.

This is all very well, but what would happen if any of the candidates were to find themselves trapped in a greenhouse filled with giant hungry centipedes and surrounded by advancing lava?

This is the type of scenario that Escape Even From Here College will train their students to deal with effortlessly.

All sorts of potential escape situations are presented in the form of mad scenarious made totally realistic by elaborate props and realistic sets.
Tumbling down a steep slope inside a shipping container shelved up inside with a collection of rare Chinese tea pots? - easy!
Or how about being on the top of a crumbling 1950's tower block with only a bag of coal, an aran jumper and two sacks of dried banana skins to use in order to escape before it totally collapses?

Nothing is too strange for Escape Even From Here College - standing upside down with your bare feet glued to the stationary propellor blade of a large ship waiting to be launched? Escape Even From Here - with one bound he was totally free!

It would certainly expand the possibilities for escape room games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_room

       [+] Even the immodestly named book “How to Survive Anything: From Animal Attacks to the End of the World (and everything in between)” doesn’t cover your specific examples, or offer a real world training camp.   

       [-] But that book and many like it do exist. Your idea seems like no more than taking the well-worn “how to survive anything” trope to extremes.

       This is a college, not a book.

       // a college, not a book//   

       Acknowledged. But having seen so many books on this theme, it seems a bit WTCTTISIT*WIBNIIWR.   

       Still has humor potential though… which is why I gave it both a [+] and [-]. You might not have noticed as they canceled each other out. The [-] I see on the scoreboard isn't from me.   

       Can you add a menacing Drumpf (or menacing a Drumpf) to the curriculum?

       Escape this giant oven, filled with expanding croissants.

       You are trapped reading a series of dull and plodding criticisms from pedantic halfbakers, who get a bit shirty if you criticise them. Lets see you escape from that!

       Somewhat tangential to this idea, I think that there should be a "Pelham 123" theme park ride
