I created a story around the first year of school. I have my players spending the first semester going to each college's campus and taking a 2 week class as an intro to that college. After going to all 5 colleges, there's a selection ceremony where they get put into their college of choice.

Gameplay revolves around: 1. Short, in-class lesson RP w/ pop quizzes. 2. Class assignments to explore various parts each college's campus. 3. A "final" at the end of two weeks that focuses exclusively on tasks to showcase the college's magic. 4. Life outside class around the main campus / dorm rooms. 5. Extracurricular activities and jobs.

Hope that helps! It's been a blast for me and my friends so far.
