The Colleges of Magic are the only official way to receive arcane education in Erotria. There are six different colleges in six different countries.
Regulations
The regulations show how much freedom the students have. Colleges are put into three categories of varying freedom.
Open
Open colleges impose very little rules onto their students. The students are free to leave the campus and can freely send letters to people. Generally students are encouraged to experiment and make their own experiences. Open colleges tend to follow the thought that students should learn on their own accord and that personal experiences are the best teacher.
Semi Open
Semi Open colleges impose more rules onto their students. Students should stay within college grounds but do leave for excursion with their professors. They can still send letters to their family and other approved persons. Experiments are still done but under supervision of professors. Semi Open colleges are more concerned with safety. They agree with the open colleges but impose their rules to add a layer of safety for their students.
Closed
Closed colleges impose the most rules onto their students. Students are confined to college grounds but the campus is made to accomodate more than other colleges. Students are forbidden to send letters as to not distract from their teachings with problems of the outer world. Experiments are rarely allowed as even small experiments can be dangerous. Closed colleges follow a monastic school of thought. They focus on a safe education above all. While students are not allowed to leave the campus they can include one journey in their final report. A chance which most students take.
Focus
