Academics

Institutions of learning and research are the purview of the Academics Influence. Access to the halls of learning can grant any number of resources, from ancient languages to research assistance to many impressionable young minds. School boards, students from kindergarten through college, graduate students, professors, teachers, deans, Greek orders and a variety of staff fill the ivy-covered buildings.
In West Berlin, the Free University was established as a tertiary institution to replace the Soviet-controlled Humboldt University. Also bolstering the academic environment is the Max Planck Institute, a leading think tank producing world class research, with more than a few Nobel Prize winners amongst its ranks. In Germany, school-aged kids can go to Gymnasiums, which are elite prep schools offering a classical education, or the Realschule and Haputschule, schools that offer a more varied, vocational-focused curriculum.
