2. I feel a little uncomfortable that there's only five dragons.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I want at least six dragons to have founded my acupuncture college. I may be mistaken here, but I believe that at least six dragons is standard for an acupuncture college. Or maybe six dragons just means it's the university level.

3. I think, and I may be mistaken
that in order to be an accredited university or college, there has to be a minimum of 4.5 dragons. However, some 3-dragon schools were grandfathered in, but most of those have voluntarily added the extra dragon and a half just to show that they are "legit".

My understanding is that a 6-dragon university is akin to Ivy League, 5 dragon to state university, and 4.5 dragon to community college.

My nursing school was 4.5 dragon and I feel that I got just as good of an education as people I know from a 5 dragon state college. Hmph. Those assholes are like "oooh oooh MY college had FIVE dragons" and I'm like "yeah that's just half a dragon MORE than my college and my school cost 3x's LESS than yours, so you tell ME the value of a fucking dragon, you imbecile"

elitists.

4. Under the current structure, each Dragon handles 6.2 lessons. How does that make any sense?
Are they tenured? Do they have their own parking spaces? What's the policy on teacher/student fraternizing?
