Sansertha College is one of the 29 colleges in the University of Isana.
History
Sansertha College is one of the older colleges of IA. In 1587 Ulinai Sansertha, a noted scholar and official in the royal court, began a private initiative to expand the University of Isana; his goal was to found a new college for research in the social sciences and public administration. After 5 years of such efforts the plan was put forth to the royal court, and King Arnen II officially granted the royal decree for the college two years later in 1589.
While Sansertha was founded with a specific range of courses in mind, the founding of the University of Isana Institute for Political and Social Sciences in 1926 has superseded it as a specialist college; long before that, in the mid 19th century DN, Sansertha had already begun expanding into other courses. Now it is considered one of the "comprehensive" colleges, though the number of social science students still take up around 70% of the school population.
The original campus of the school is in modern day Waranyebara remis, within the boundaries of the old city and near the Goose Gate; in 1833 Kanir Elidae donated the land for the present site of the college, near Furinalmi in Awenhine remis, and in 1838 the college was moved into its new home - only to suffer a fire four years later, which burned down a side building but did not cause any casualties.
