In this world, if you say that you're studying at Qilin, you are either referring to Qilin Academy or Qilin University.
But no matter the case, it only means that you are studying in the country's number one educational institution.
The Qilin Academy caters to classes from preschool to secondary levels. At the same time, Qilin University houses the tertiary level and offers comprehensive courses such as education, engineering, economics, political science, dungeon management, and hunter studies.
Qilin Academy and Qilin University are both located in the same neighborhood.
The gate that Shen Yuan and his family are looking at is the Qilin University.
It came as a surprise to Shen Yuan that the fabled school that Chairman Mao was optimistic about was located outside the metro. It subverted his impression that neighborhoods around major schools are the busiest.
