Enrolling as a student
Oakridge College is one of the richest ways into Briarmont. It hands you classmates, clubs, a dorm, and a standing reason to be in town, which is most of what a new character needs.

Note. Admissions is a walk, not a form. There is nothing to fill in and nothing to submit, and this guide deliberately stops short of telling you how it goes.
Getting in
Admissions happens in-world, at Oakridge, and it starts in the admin building. Go and have a look around the entrance hall. You will know the right thing when you see it, and once you have found it the rest follows on its own.
From there it takes you around the campus. Keep moving and read what arrives: every step happens because you went somewhere or touched something. Admission reaches you during the walk rather than at the end of it. If you are accepted you can print your letter on the printer beside the application computer.
The middle of it is not written down here on purpose. Walking it cold is the point, and it runs about as long as a decent scene.
This is the first quest we have opened to everyone, so it may still have rough edges. If something stalls or will not fire, file a ticket on the support channel and say what you were doing when it happened.
Then come classes
Choosing what you study is separate from being admitted, and it comes after, though you can register as soon as you are admitted. In-world, the tablet on the Registrar's desk in the administration building hands your character a link to their student record. If you are already signed in to Munibase, the same record is on your character dashboard: open the portal from the Oakridge College group. Two decisions, in this order:
Your major is what you are mapping out your future to look like. Your courses are the individual classes you take under it, and they are where your weekly timetable comes from.
You can browse the catalog before you ever log in, and you are not locked in by choosing early. The catalog is young and fills out as departments file their classes, so a short list means the term is still being written, not that you missed something. Switching a major later costs credits, so it is worth a look first. Plenty of students play their first term without a firm plan and let the scenes decide it.
Your student card
Declare your major first. Once you have, the printer at the reception desk prints your student card with your major on it. If a step is missing, the printer says so. The card is free.
Where students actually spend their time
Classes give you a schedule. Clubs, teams, and Greek houses give you the people, and they are the reason most student characters stay busy. Athletics, the student council, the disciplinary committee, and the Greek chapters all take new members, and each comes with its own standing calendar of scenes.
Dorm rooms and houses in town are both listed on Rentals.
