The spoiler contains the first post of the RP to give a general sense of what we are doing. Please read and fill out the application format if you are interested. Look at what is needed, but please apply even if the spot you are looking for isn't listed. We can always talk about it and try to make something work. :)

The air was crisp, the wind was gently blowing making the leaves rustle and fly off of the delicate branches. The smell of fresh apple cider filled the city streets. Hot apple tarts and carrot muffins were being sold by street carts. Along with ponies selling scarves and hats, fall was here, and so was the beginning of the school year.

The smoke cleared from the train that lead from Ponyville to Canterlot. Students flooded the campus, they were from all over Equestria, ponies were reuniting after a long summer off.

The new seniors were taking their place as top ponies on campus. Preparing their houses for the upcoming freshmen. The housing ceremony happened the first night after the group dinner. The headmaster usually made the same announcements as every year, be safe, study hard, join teams, and most of all, do your best.

The sorting ceremony didn't take too long, you had to be accepted into the University to begin with so the amount of new students every year wasn't all that big. There were three houses, the Alicorns, the Changlings, and the Crystals.

The Alicorn house always had award winning students, on the headmasters list of academic achievement, or the house with more of the winning trophies for the sports and other competitions. They were a good house, some might call them the goody two-hooves of the houses but good ponies were there just the same.

The Changling house usually housed those who were more dedicated to the magic of Equestria, figuring out spells, brewing potions, exploring the strange and untamed. This house helps ponies who are looking to explore and expand their knowledge and to be able to do wondrous things. Don't let the name fool you, there are not changlings here, and it isn't just a house for unicorns either, many ponies of all races have found ways to use magic to help them and others.

The last house, the Crystal house. This house is for those who are still searching for who they truly are, they have their cutie mark but they still have yet to realize the full potential of that mark. This house helps ponies to find their true selves, they explore all types of areas, from magic, to agricultural, to academia. Ponies that find themselves in this house will uncover who they are before they graduate and that knowledge will help them to leave this school fulfilled and accomplished, almost more so than the other two houses where ponies pretty much already know who they are and destined to become.

An announcement came over the loud speakers. Attention students of the University of Canterlot, this is your headmaster. I would like to welcome you all to a brand new school year, I have a feeling it is going to be filled with fun, excitement, achievement, and most of all learning! I look forward to seeing all of the return students, and meeting all of the first years! Remember the campus dinner and housing ceremony begins tonight at 7pm! Don't be late! That is all."

This year is going to be something just a little bit different....I have a feeling.

It's a splendid idea. Reminds me of University Days, to an extent. Seems like it would be an improvement over high school in the sense that it's an "open-world" environment...or as open world as a campus can get.

 

Trouble might be getting the students. Many just signed up for a high school RP, and, assuming enough students do sign up for this one, some of said students may not be familiar with university life depending on their age (though I suppose no freshman is anyways, so that's a moot point).

This is true, that is kinda why I related it to Hogwarts, that way people can kinda look there and get an idea of what it might be like. 

 

But I get your point, and with the others signing up for the high school RP it might not take off as quickly as I had hoped. 

 

I think it might be good for those who don't have experience with any type of university to join because they would be the fresh students, they could be placed in their houses and they could be taken under wing by the older students. 

 

I guess we could have a requirement to put what year you are going to be in. 

 

So I guess something like (no college/university real life experience) you would be a year 1 and you would be placed in your house. 

 

People who have college/university experience in real life can be year 2, 3, 4, etc.

I'm in! :D The highschool RP has gotten a little bit out of whack for me, since I'm totally in a different time zone to everyone else here it seems, but I'd be willing to throw in my two cents if you're willing to take it! 

 

Also, the idea for Harry Potter-esque houses is very cute and novel, and I'd love to see how it plays out.

 

Also damn I just want to read more Wubtavia prose

8 people interested so far! :D 

 

Maybe I should change this to a "searching" topic to see if others would be interested? 

 

Also, should I start the first post to give others a reference to look at to kind of get the idea of what would be happening?

Searching would gain this topic more attention, yup! 

 

You can if you'd like, that would definitely provide some context.

 

I'm not creepy: I went on your page to just see who you are and I would just like to say from one gal to another you are very pretty

It's been far too long since I've RP'd on this site publicly. If you're still accepting, would you mind if I joined? ("Back in my day," she started, clutching her walker...) The last university RP I was on crashed and burned in a matter of weeks

Honestly, I just don't see it...

 

 

You can still count me in, Stellina. I might just be a bit slow, what with things being a bit hectic as of late.

As long as you can handle the load and can interact with them without too much confusion. 

 

I don't want it to be crazy, so I would say 2 at maximum to start with. If after a little while things are running smoothly we can see about adding a few more. But I want to keep it open to other ponies to join too. 

 

But I will discuss with the co-dm and we will go over each OC and we will probably talk with everypony about everything too.
