Lumen City University LCU

Lumen City University (LCU) is a wealthy public college that excells at a broad array of academic specialties. It isn't the best of the best in any given field, but it's above average for almost any degree you could ask for. On top of this, the school has a multitude of professors for most core classes, offering a lot of flexibility in schedules. The university is well liked for student's abilities to manage both school and work, and has a plethora of scholarships to aid in completing school with little financial worry. It almost makes the school worth going to despite constantly being under attack or caught in the crossfire between supernatural forces...   The university has a school uniform and dress code, but it is not very strictly enforced and many students will show up to class with their own outfits or augmented versions of their school uniforms to express their individuality and style. The school's colors are (WIP, will be a group discussion), but each year of students has a unique set of colors that differentiate Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. These colors stay with the graduating year as they progress, and the newest year of students is assigned whatever color that comes next in the cycle. Currently, the Freshmen color is (WIP, will be a group discussion), the Sophomores color is are (WIP, will be a group discussion), the Junior color is (WIP, will be a group discussion), and the Senior color is (WIP, will be a group discussion). After every four years of graduating classes, the school uniform gets a makeover to differentiate between older and newer versions of the same color uniform (since it's not uncommon to spend more than four years at college).   Unlike most universities, LCU gives students a homeroom class to go to each semester. Often, students will keep the same homeroom professor until they graduate. These classes are for orientation, learning about school wide events / policy changes / other news, and general study groups.  

Clubs

There are a multitude of groups at LCU full of a wide variety of different interests and hobbies. Plenty of these groups lead to post-graduation opportunities for students and help students get ahead in life, and others are purely for-fun hobbies.

Cliques

Cliques at LCU are the stereotypical classifications for students in most social school settings. Most social groups have a lit of smaller circles of friends, and plenty of people are unaware that they classify as a member of a specific clique. For each, I will explain the clique. I've decided not to name any individual or group here because there's too damn many of these.  

Preps

The populars, mean girls, and priss kids. Not all of these students assholes, but they often are due to rich-kid disconnect or social-obsessed insecurity.  

Jocks

Good-ats

Overachievers, teachers pets, and workaholics. These students are usually in multiple clubs, do lots of volunteer work, and/or have jobs (maybe multiple, maybe full time). Some are in constant overwhelm, and others find the constant work relaxing.

Nerds / Geeks

Normies

The standard student. Not too much of anything to be otherwise defined, and not usually grouped here by choice.  

Gliders

Gliders are students who do the bare minimum, often spending their time under the influence in some way in class and/or skip classes often. Named this because they skate by the bare minimum and are seen as "floaty" people.  

Emos, Goths, Punks, Rebels

Self explanatory; golths, punks, emos, rebels, delinquents, any such group has it's own cluster of students that qualify. These are often lumped together by outsiders looking in, but each group differentiates between themselves.  

Sweats, loners, "them"

All the kids who lack friends for one reason or another. Super anime enthusaists/weaboos, incels, overly obsessives, and all other socially inept (for good reason or not) people.
