Second Life has a cluster of islands targetted at universities, colleges and libraries. The rate at which these institutions are entering the SL Metaverse is astonishing, aided in part by relatively generous land dispositions from Linden Labs.
A second island cluster, perhaps the largest in Second Life, belongs to the New Media Consortium and currently (Jan 07) comprises over 30 islands, although most of these are under construction. Aside from providing a large work area for NMC members and guests, the island complex also houses leading universities like MIT, Princetonand Cornell.
The following is a (non-exhaustive) list as at mid-Jan, 2007. Please note that, at this time, some sites are under construction.

In addition - the following organisations are represented:
- The International Society for Technology in Education
- Eduserv (UK)
