Freedom College

Located in Southside, Freedom College is the oldest college in the Freedom area, though it lay outside the city proper when it was constructed and opened in 1799. While it was once considered equal to the Ivy League colleges and the preferred school for the city’s privileged, it hasn’t withstood the test of time as well as others. Its facilities and materials are somewhat out of date, and it has acquired a reputation as a “party school.” Since 1957, its tuition has been less expensive than the other schools in Freedom, often making it the only choice for lower-income families. For the athletically-minded student, Freedom College is heavily involved in college sports, although there are rumors some of the city’s Mob families are, too.
There have been efforts recently to improve the standing, reputation, and facilities of Freedom College. The mayor and the college’s Board of Trustees would like nothing better than to see Freedom College restored to its colonial architectural glory as well as modern academic excellence, but the process has been a slow one compared to other improvements made in Freedom City.
