The Middle-earth College AU meme

The Middle-earth College Life AU meme

Congrats, you've been accepted to college / university! Or maybe you work there? Maybe you're even the President or a Dean of studies! Either way - there's classes to attend or teach, parties to go to, and fraternities/sororities to belong to. Cheer for the sports team, and don't forget about extra curricular activities.


1. Comment with a character, with a sentence or two to explain how they fit into this AU
2. Format is flexible! Action, Phones, IMs, etc. (It's a meme, do what is most fun for you!)
3. ???
4. Profit.




Shire institute of Culinary Arts:
Aspiring chefs, look no further. A wide variety of specialty degrees are available, but it's best known for their potato program. Dorms are said to be "cozy", but the meal plan is next to none. The typical "freshman 15" here is expanded to the "freshman 30," but no one seems to mind.

Rivendell University and Teaching Hospital:
You might know that Rivendell's medical program it top notch, but you might not know that it also has a robust music program as well. It boasts a diverse student body and easy admittance process. The dorms are next to none, with full meal plan, entertainment, and laundry service.

University of Caras Galadhon:
This university is so exclusive, that only students and staff know how to even get to the campus. Needless to say, their athletic teams never have home games. Extracurricular activities include boating and archery. All dorms begin on the 10th floor.

Woodland U:
Literally spelled Woodland "U" because half their applicants can't spell "university." All students are required to be on one of the athletics teams. Known for its party scene. Their rival is the nearby Erebor Trade School. It's motto is "We will endure" because many of it's students stay much longer than the usual four year plan.

Erebor Trade School:
Anyone hoping to become a craftsman or jeweler aspires admittance to this school. Tuition used to be rather high before a massive campus fire and a change of administration. Remodeling is ongoing. Erebor encourages drinking, even though half its students are miners.

Gondor Military Academy:
Used to be a more prestigious institution until the neighborhood appeal changed by the nearby Mt. Doom's expansion and construction. Recently subject to rumors about the president losing touch with the needs of the students.

Rohan Agricultural College:
Probably the smallest and least expensive school in Middle-earth. Sister school to Gondor Military Academy, and known for its equestrian program and rural location. The dorms and meal plans here are said to be lacking.

Mt Doom College:
Recently had a resurgence in numbers, Mt. Doom is known for its aggressive recruiting policy and strict dress code. Now has a campus at Orthanc, which used to be an independent institution.

Two Trees Seminary:
This university can boast that it's faculty are all at the top of their fields. Known for it's idyllic location, Two Trees has a very strict moral code, but most students who enroll never leave campus. The Dormitory is located in the building simply known as "The Halls."

[ An eyebrow hikes up - not so much at Glorfindel coming in, because no really, he does this all the time, but the paperwork in his hands ]

Will wonders never cease - Glorfindel is finding time to do his paperwork.

[ Erestor that is not what he asked ]

How do you know I haven't come to add to your never ending pile?

[Actually, it's a bit of both, but he has more important things to attend to first, like clearing a space for his tray so he can start to serve them tea - a cup for both. This is something he needs Erestor's help for and he figured if he's going to add to Erestor's load he might as well make sure that he's hydrated and fed at the same time. A snack is better than nothing (and will help keep Glorfindel's attention going too).]

[ The eyebrow stays up, and somehow manages to convey that Glorfindel is asking a stupid question - everyone adds to Erestor's pile. Instead, he obliges his friend by shifting things to make room for the tray ]

You should stop snacking between meals or you will grow fat.

[ This is his way of saying he loves you, really. ]

Ah, but how can I maintain my activity levels without a little indulgence of sugar? [Glorfindel smiles brighter, leaning in closer.] It's the elf a little too acquainted with his desk who might get fat.

[Pulling over another chair, he offers Erestor a plate of cake.] Luckily, I know a cure for that.

[ Have an indignant sniff, he is not overly acquainted with his desk excuse you, but ooh is that his favourite cake ]

One wonders how your energy levels can be sustained at all, considering how you never seem to tire.

[ eyebrowwwww ]

And what cure might that be?
