Why only the Citadel?

We discussed this some in an earlier thread titled "The Citadel is easier to get into than Arizona State".

Basically we sort of surmised there is a literacy test to avoid being flooded with peasant refugees. Read competently and you are in.

From that point on, if you don't have the mind of a Maester, you will likely take the role of a "Lay Brother", sweeping floors, mucking stalls, tending ravens etc. rather than progressing in forging your chain.

lol ok thanks. There's a few universities in southern Ontario that we have similar sayings about. "If you can walk and you can talk you can go to Brock" and "If you can use a fork you can go to York"
