Tuition starts at 50 gp per year, and doubles each year thereafter, limiting the student body of Grey College to the children of the privileged classes.

Grey College is sometimes known as Greyhawk College or the University of Greyhawk. Though most of its buildings are situated east of the Processional near Garden Gate and along University Street, the college claims a half-dozen structures scattered throughout the district and an observatory outside the eastern wall
