Colleges

In the 13th century Oxford University created colleges in order to lessen rioting between students and townspeople. This century also saw the foundation of the college Peterhouse at Cambridge University. Colleges were usually named after their founder or a patron saint.

Colleges in the SCA

In the SCA a college is a branch that is based at a teaching institute, such as a university. Due to the fluctuating nature of university attendance some colleges may go inactive for some months, usually summer, in the year.
