College Magazine Name

General magazine names:
Brainery, Academy, CSociety

Brainery: Another word for college, below the 8 character limit and it's different.

Academy: More known, not as unique but below the 8 character limit.

CSociety: Original, means college society and matches the 8 character limit. 

CSociety is my choice.
