[ Angus is going anon for this one! He's got some tentative research to do. ]

Hypothetically speaking, how old does someone have to be to apply for college, or to take classes at a university? Is there a minimum age, or does it depend on whether or not you understand the material?

I was wondering about this!

Some things I read said you'd need guardians to sign forms. I don't know if it would be different for imPorts.

[hellosirs]

Norman!! Were you thinking of university classes too?

I think it'd have to be different for imPorts, considering that most of us end up here without any guardians. It's not like they assign us any, after all!

[ Angus has Magnus, and Tina has her mom, but he knows they're exceptions to the rule. ]

[Aha! Suspicions confirmed.]

Angus! Yeah, I am - I think they'd be a lot more useful.

Maybe they only need that if you're IN the university, not if you just want to take classes?

[hellosirs]

Do you mean like... living on campus? You'd have to attend most of the classes in-person even if you didn't live there, right?

[a_good]

Yeah, maybe if you come to class but don't live there they don't need as much permission.

Or universities in imPort cities might just be used to it.

Yeah, people here seem a lot more worried about legal minors being on their own than they are back home.

[People are very worried about minors going anywhere on their own back in Norman's world. Unfortunately.]

It's helpful sometimes.

But mostly it's inconvenient.

Right? On one hand, you get underestimated all the time because of your age... but on the other hand, you get underestimated all the time because of your age.

[RIGHT?]

I think I need to get better at disguise self.

Re: private!

[hellosirs]

Oh, be careful with that one! It only lasts an hour, and more importantly, the spell doesn't affect your voice, so you'll still sound like a kid. I've gotten in trouble with it before.

Re: private!

[a_good]

Ah, right! There isn't another spell for voice?

Re: private!

[hellosirs]

I'm... not sure. I don't have any magic textbooks from back home here, so I'm just going off the spells I've learned so far. Taako would know.

[ If he were still here, anyway. ]

[a_good]

Well, it's still plenty useful as long as we're careful!
