[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 3652995, member: 11760"] I go with the idea that it's a collegiate sort of structure. I took courses from the College of Arts & Science at Virginia Tech, and never took anything from the College of Engineering or the College of Architecture. And after my freshman year, I would be surprised to have seen students from either of those colleges in any of my classes. There doesn't have to be an enmity between the schools for students to have to make choices as to what they can learn if they're choosing to concentrate on what it is, effectively, a college major. That said, if you want to have magical schools that concentrate on a single school of magic, they're out there. St. John's College of Abjuration (PDF) was meant to be the first of a series like that, but they were never finished. But I know other publishers did the same, and the awesome Redhurst Academy of Magic is structured like a university with the schools of magic being different departments. [/QUOTE]
