University of the Flanaess
This poor sister to Grey College struggles for recognition in the shadow of its rival. The “university” (its title is overly grandiose for the reality of the school) offers four-year programs of education in most of the fields offered by Grey College (except Alchemy and Astronomy).
Tuition here costs only half that of Grey College, and the student body is large—this is the third biggest school in Clerkburg. But it is common knowledge that the graduates of Flanaess do not receive the thorough education that Grey College alumni can claim.
A cluster of four buildings on the east side of Clerkburg forms the campus of the University of the Flanaess. The buildings are smaller than at Grey, and are crowded closer together. Classes are larger, and the school offers no extended course work beyond the four years.
However, the university fields vigorous teams to the interscholastic competitions, and its student body is lively and loyal. Flanaess students contribute much to the good character of the Clerkburg District.
The school was able recently to hire two dwarves from Greysmere as part-time engineering tutors, and the classes have been well received. The chancellor is a harassed-looking woman who is near the end of her rope in keeping the school afloat; she is Soria Selincross.
