He gets accepted into the Monsters University scare program years later, where he meets both James P. "Sulley" Sullivan and Randall Boggs. Wazowski grows jealousy towards Sulley for his cocky personality and slacker attitude, but expresses a liking for Boggs, his roommate. After failing one of the classes in the scaring program, Wazowski works out a deal with the Dean to re-enroll in the program on the stipulation that he wins the Scare Games, a competitive series of scare-based challenges. To participate, he joins the unpopular fraternity Oozma Kappa, which is later joined by Sulley, who also failed the class. Sulley and Wazowski begin to form a friendship as they compete in the games. During the final event, Sulley cheats on Wazowski's behalf.

Amidst the chaos resulting from Boo's unknown presence, he discovers that Wazowski knows information about her, and they both agree to return her to a designated location.

Despite everything, the Abominable Snowman seems to have made the most of his fate and genuinely seems to enjoy the human world. In the end credits in Cars (2006), the Abominable Snowplow, based on him, makes a cameo appearance. In Monsters University, he was shown to have worked as a mailroom supervisor at Monsters, Inc.

The scream machine renders Fungus nearly unconscious and blanches him white, showing that the machine asphyxiates its victims.
