Pandora Wordsworth's college career is not off to a great start. First, she learns that all of her college applications have vanished in a “freak internet accident” (which she is pretty sure isn’t a real thing), then she discovers that her parents spent her college savings joining a yacht club (notably, they do not own a yacht.) It is just when all hope of going to school is gone that Pandora receives a letter of admission from Mount Olympus University. The only problem? She has no recollection of applying to this particular school.

It turns out that Mount Olympus University is the choice college for figures of mythology, legend, and lore. Students with intense powers roam the halls, and Pandora is the only one among them who is, well, just a person. Now, on top of papers and tests, she's skirting Minotaur in the halls, sharing a dorm with love-expert Aphrodite, sparking rivalry with Arthur Pendragon, and avoiding the irritating come-ons from fellow student Zeus. Add one mysteriously broadcasting radio room that Pandora can't seem to escape, and MOU's one human student may be in over her head.
