Asking questions was the best way to gain knowledge. She took a moment to sort through the girl's questions. "No, wizarding university isn't technically necessary, but it will open up a wider variety of job prospects," she said. "Most positions will pay more for a degree, but even when that's not the case, the experience you gain through university classes will help you in the long run."

Then the subject changed to sports, which, truth be told, was not her area of expertise at all. "Yes." She nodded. "Almost all universities have sports in some form or other. The ones large enough to have their own sports teams will offer athletic scholarships, but even the small community colleges almost always have a student-run club for sports if nothing else."

Ah, housing. Now that was something she knew more about! "University housing is a bit more flexible than what you're used to here at Hogwarts," she said. "You'll have a dorm, or course, with one or two roommates. You'll be assigned a roommate to start, but you get the option to pick a different roommate later on, if you like. The dorms are a little bigger than the ones in boarding school. The exact amenities vary by location, but you can expect beds, a study area, bathroom, and usually a small kitchen area." Did that answer her questions?

Skylar listened to the two professors as they addressed some of her concerns when it came to university. It rather made sense when she considered it more, because she adored learning, which was actually the main issue she was having here. She adored learning SO much that she just couldn't narrow anything down. So wait though, a roommate was required?!

"Do you have to live in the university housing?" It wasn't mandatory, right? Because she was maybe considering alternatives, that she wasn't entirely sure about it, but if she did go through with it then it could change things.

Looking at the male professor now, she smiled warmly as he offered his own insights. "So, um, there's guidance offered too? Like an advisor of sorts, as we have our heads of houses here at Hogwarts, there will be something similar at University to help guide us and offer insights about jobs that combine fields?" Because the combination of fields actually was intriguing to the sixth year and she wanted to know more about that now, which she doubted they could help her with that, but she would be taking brochures and contacting the different universities of their amenities and offerings.

Well, it is hard to enunciate Japanese words to sound authentic, but she did well in not butchering the greeting so that's good. More than good, actually. Not like a certain fellow Ravenclaw. Hadley Denaker was the worst, and perhaps the only person in Hogwarts who can make the usually calm Jace Reed seethe with anger. The young man nodded at her response. "My brother actually attended a small community college in Setagaya-ku. He opted for a small one since his priority was to play professional Quidditch." he paused looking over to Skylar, whom he knew was into the sport as well. "It may be small, but it helped him get in the Toyohashi Tengu team. So, I guess it's really important to choose the best university or college that will help us fulfil our dream..." And speaking of Quidditch, he ought to return his brother's practice broom when he goes to University. He wouldn't need one in the near future.

The Ravenclaw looked from the woman to the man next to her, and grinned. "Well, I plan to take Curse-Breaking...but I'm also leaning towards being an Auror. Would you know if the Wizarding Universities in Tokyo or Osaka are good enough for these majors? Or...is there a special course specializing in hybrid majors? I'd like to take both if it's possible..." Nothing is impossible to a Reed, especially if it required brain power.

More students came by and the seventh year offered them all a polite grin. He caught sight of Ollie though, and if a Meriwether was in sight, it can only mean that a wild Matt Solo's nearby. His fellow seventh year wouldn't miss this opportunity to torment the Aurors present...

Oh? Wait, there was professional Quidditch in Japan? How did she not know this?? She smiled at the older Ravenclaw, whom she recognized mostly because of being Ethan's dormmate and all. "Hmm, but I don't want to go to university to get onto a professional quidditch team. I would want to play on the university team. Do you know if the small college had a team then?"
