My critique group chewed up my idea and spat it out because "if he's spending so much time away from the college but you set it up as a magic college story then nobody who wants an adventure will get through the beginning and everyone who wanted a magic college will be disappointed." So now it's in limbo and I think I need a second novel that's pure college.

Maybe have it set in a magic high school where the plot point is that he’s trying to juggle his grades, his social life, and the constant extremely dangerous and shady odd jobs he needs to do in order to afford Magic college. Can contrast that with the spoiled rich kids at his school that are getting a free ride to the prestigious Magic college school from daddy, who’s an alumni so they don’t need perfect Magic SAT scores to get in.
