The Middle-earth College 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." |

[Beleg nods towards the treeline at the very back of the archery range.]

I think my lord has the advantage over me there. Keen are the eyes of the elves! But I will do my best.
[ They are far away, yes, but he can see them move, although not with any of Beleg's accuracy. Alright. Let's do this. He breathes carefully, watching and... ]
I did it!
no subject
Well done indeed! All you need now to do is practice.
no subject
I will do my best not to let you down, sir! And sir, if I could beg your idulgence - I am currently doing a thesis on life in the First Age and I was wondering... if you aren't too busy sir, could I interview you later?
no subject
If you practice diligently as I've heard you do, then I am sure you will not. [A blink; when it was for information on the 1st age, most people approach far more scholarly persons than him.]
I have no objections and I am free after this class.
no subject
Thank you sir, I will keep practicing. Will you be staying long? I don't want to inconvenience you.
no subject
Do not rush your practice. I will see if your fellow fellows wish for any advice.
no subject
Thank you sir, I will! Um, if you have a moment during classes, I know the juniors were hoping you might stop by - they were hoping to get your autograph.
no subject
If they wish...I do not mind stopping by. [Beleg sounds just a bit puzzled though, the idea of anyone wanting his name written on a piece of paper is just odd to him.]
no subject
They will be most appreciative, I am sure. [ Have a wry shrug - he's just the messenger, but he's very fond of Beregond's son, who has a poster of Beleg on his wall, so... ]
They may swarm. [ So. Fair warning for enthusiastic kids? ]
no subject
I am forewarned then. It is a little enough thing to do. [Well, he's dealt with enthusiastic KID before...surely multiple of them wouldn't be that much harder to handle?]
no subject
Thank you. Bergil will be so happy to meet his hero, and I do not doubt his classmates will be the same.
[ ahahaha, poor Beleg ]
no subject
[He's smiling bit, amused at the idea of it.]
no subject
no subject
[Beleg will do his best.] As for patience, I will do my best so none feels left out.
no subject
no subject
[Beleg smiles and looks across the practice range at clusters of other students still practising diligently.] I have taken enough of your practice time. Until later.
no subject
No sir, it was an honor. Thank you so much - I wil do my best to practice what you have suggested today.
