Word On The Deck

Testimonials, Unfiltered

Collected at the evening meal. Transcribed by the parrot, who improved several sentences.

"I came for the navigation. I stayed because the Wi-Fi (the wind) never lags in a storm. Also the bed is a hammock and my back has never been better. 10/10 would drown again."— Nadia "North" Okafor, Class of 2026

"My parrot failed me on purpose. I appealed. The appeal went to the parrot. The parrot ate it. I still think he’s my favorite professor."— T. "Two-Fathoms" Marsh, Class of 2025

"POV: your capstone is an ocean and you’re solo. No cap. Well. A hat. The placement office (the Vault) even kept my CV in a waterproof tube. Thoughtful."— Isla Reyes, Class of 2024

"Moved here from a campus with an elevator. The elevator here is a rope and it works fine. The view, however, is the actual sea. I’m not going back. Nobody’s taking the island from me."— Finn O’Rourke, Class of 2027 (first-timer)

Societies

Clubs, But With More Rope

Join as many as you like. The Galley caps society feasts at one per month, for reasons.

The Midnight Ink Society

Poetry and storm-chanting, by lantern light on the foredeck. Attendance changes you. The ink is non-reflective on purpose.

Knot & Crumb

The food society. Ties knots in bread. The bread is for eating; the knot is for philosophy. Mrs. Oat audits this one.

The Grog-Free Club

Ironically our largest society. Meets during Grog-Free Week. Sells "hot tea" in goblets. Does not make eye contact.

Whale-ology & Respect

Studies whales from a distance of our choosing. Founded after the Incident. The Incident is a required reading now.
