Etymology

The small town that has settled and built up around Clarey College went with the simple and used the name. Clarey, a town with more students, teachers, and the odd family that's moved in, has little to offer those from further away. There is little to no tourist attractions and most that live here work here as well. The largest store, set up in the outskirts of the town's limit, offered a large variety of items from paper to groceries. While many did shop there, just as many shopped at the smaller stores closer to them. A more medium sized store that specializes in food, locally owned of course, kept their prices in decent competition with the chain store. The other decent sized store was more of an outlet, as it offered a small variety of food as well as clothing items. The smaller store was a mix of deli items and quick food stuffs.

Within the town's limits was also a small hospital. While not equipped to handle anything special, they were more than able to handle most medical issues. The hospital boasted a total of three ICU beds, and could have a total of only 23 people admitted at a time. They did have a small landing pad, that would allow them to send patients to a larger hospital if the need arose, but that wasn't often.

The daycare, which wasn't far from any given area in Clarey, offered it's services at a lower rate to students and teachers alike, but tended to keep the costs low anyway as most donated food weekly. The small playground was fenced in, with neatly trimmed hedges all the way around.

The hospital worked closely with the single pharmacy in town, as they also offered compounding on the more complex medications that may be needed, as well as most forms of equipment. Such as wheelchairs, walkers, even feeding tubes and oxygen supplies.

Not far from the campus is a small texmex style sit down eating place. The inside is fairly small, but thanks to the mostly even temperatures around here, they had plenty of screened outside seating areas. Their best dish is the fresh fried rice and freshly cooked taco meat. Decorated in bright colors, the splashes of color tended to draw in more people, and the offer of half price cool drinks also added in their side of being appealing. They had a small area inside that held a few tables for those who were looking for something a bit fancier, lower lighting, even candles if asked for, as well as music that drifted down from hidden speakers that ranged from county to mexican. Most who worked here were pleasant, living in the area but the manager could be a terror to deal with

The campus of the college is as big as it is green. A lot of nature is to be found on it’s grounds and while there are a fair amount of buildings, there’s as least as much space left to nature as there is for the buildings itself. The school itself consists of two massive buildings that were placed next to each other and form the shape of an L together and 3 smaller buildings across the pond that are meant for specific fields of study.

The main building, which has a darker red stone than the other is a 3 floor building where one can mainly find the office of the headmaster and the teacher's lounge. On the top floor, there’s an auditorium where presentations can be held.

The second building mainly holds classrooms and lockers as well as study rooms and comfortable sitting areas for in between classes. You can find a vending machine for cold drinks and snacks here and there as well as a coffee machine for those that prefer hot drinks. Aside from that, there’s also a student shop that holds articles of clothing, backpacks, school accessories and necessities to attend class such as notebooks, laptops you can rent and stationary.

The other three buildings that are part of the school itself can be found on the other side of the pond, or between the pond and the main parking lot to be exact. Here, classes for specific study fields are held. The first building is for chemistry and holds different labs and a big storage for chemicals as well as rooms for experiments. The second is for healthcare and holds medical equipment, basic medicine that every doctor should know about and surgical resources. The last building is the science building in which you can find many things like real organs and bones as well as older specimens for the study of anatomy aside from rooms dedicated to other fields of science that do not fall under biology itself.

Aside from the school buildings, there’s also the dorms to be found that are located further on the right of the grounds and surrounded by trees in an open, half-circle. Edged to a small forest, this building provides peaceful living quarters for the school’s students. For more info on the dorms themselves, look at the section about dorms above.

Other than these buildings there’s more minor buildings to be found on campus that can be handy for all students. These include a larger gym, a big library, a coffeehouse where one can sit and have breakfast as well as drink coffee and study or read and the cabin on the far left of the campus, where the groundskeeper resides and sells his hand-crafted furniture to students that might want to buy it for their dorms or other housing.

Surrounding these buildings and making up the other half of campus grounds, there’s a small pond with fish and a wooden bridge that crosses it as well as fields where students can play soccer or baseball (These fields can be found behind the main school building). A basketball court is provided as well and so are plenty of benches to sit on for students that like to find peace amongst nature. At the very front of the campus grounds, there’s a parking lot that provides a place where regular students can park their car. For the ones that reside in the dorms, another parking lot is provided that you can find on the right side of the dorm building.

The dorms consist of small apartments that each have their own bedrooms as well as a small living area. Each apartment also has a mini fridge and a private bathroom with a shower that only gets used by the students living in it. On the first floor of the building one can find a kitchen area that all students have access to and a community fridge, which holds basic items like cheese and ham as well as milk, eggs and yoghurt. Aside from the kitchen area there is also a storage room that holds extra products including bottles of water, cheap bathroom products like soap and shampoo as well as extra towels and other basic necessities. Each student is allowed to use as many as they need although their contract does request for them to use these resources responsibly and not take more than is necessary. Most of it is after all an emergency stash that should only be used when the student does not have these items in their own apartment for any reasons.

The dorms also hold a small gym and an entertainment area as well as a library in which the classic books as well as some encyclopedias can be found. In the entertainment area there is a big display case with several movies one can borrow as well as cd’s, board games and even a ping pong table.These too are available for all students and there’s no specific rules about them except for the request of using these rooms respectfully and returning the books when they are no longer needed. In case one would get caught nor respecting what is offered in the dorms, one would get kicked out without further notice.

On the first floor one can find the gym, entertainment area, library, shared kitchen, big living room, educators apartments and the storage room. On the second floor, one can find the apartments for freshmen and sophomore students. On the third floor, the apartments for juniors and seniors can be found.
