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."

[Legolas manages to look both curious and a touch sheepish at that.]

I admit that I do not. Only that there is beer. Have you attended one before?

Dwarves invented it!

[Surprised.]

Really? Then it is a wonder Galion knows of it at all! I wonder where he might have heard of such a thing.
gloinul: (Drinking!)

Hobbits took the idea from us, followed by Men. It makes sense.

[He laughs again.]

What ill has befallen Middle-earth that the Elves should be last to know of something?! I will tell no one what I have learned today, for they will think the world is coming to it's end.
gloinul: (Seriously Legolas?!)

[personal profile] gloinul 2014-11-01 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Well you don't have a kegger with wine and near as I can tell that's all you Elves drink. It stands to reason that you hadn't learned of them until everyone else had.

I believe you, my friend. Though I think it best that Galion never hears of it. If I were to guess, I would say he got the idea from the Men of Esgaroth.

Tch, not surprising. Laketowners are overly fond of their parties.

Perhaps that is why students of our school are so glad to be near to it. Many gatherings are held there, but I do not think the folk there mind as long as they bring coin to the town.
