acadia is located just outside of the new orleans metro area, but can only be found by (gasp) acadians. the school and city have enchantments for secrecy.

important information

event - rush week
| | it's time for new students to rush! the sorting ceremonies, the pledge activities, getting acquainted with the your new house, and settling in. upperclassmen should pick their little brother or sister, show them around town. it's a tradition at acadia that hopes to survive the test of ages. rush lasts until the end of the first week of classes, but every freshmen should have their new house by the end of this week. |

stairs and hallways
| | be careful on the stairs, sometimes they yawn and take a nap! if you suddenly find yourself on a long, spiral slide, then hold on to your books! with time and practice, students can learn the stairs' sleeping schedule, but that doesn't mean they won't trip you up on purpose. the hallways are much more polite, however the adventurous acadian may find a few things of interest around on those late night strolls. |

public services
| | should the need arise, magical law enforcement is just a simple hop, jump, and skip away. be careful to keep the nearby muggles in the dark and to not to break any magical laws, and all should be well. also the community hospital and the only magical bank on this end of the country is located within the confines of this newly established community. |
