Studying magic and magical schools

I love books about people learning to use magic - both the ones taking place in a school setting and the ones where the student have a mentor and is taught one-o-one. This list has books that takes place in boarding schools, universities and in apprenticeship setting. All of the books has the study of magic as either the main focus or as a large subplot.
All age groups are welcome as well as comic books
