The SAT (pronounced "S-A-T") Reasoning Test, formerly called the Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test, is a type of standardized test frequently used by colleges and universities in the United States to aid in the selection of incoming students. In the U.S., the SAT is administered by the private College Board, and is developed, published, and scored by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Many universities in other countries such as the United Kingdom have recently begun to use the test as a scholastic benchmark as well, if perhaps not with as much weight.

you could also say la preparatoria ( it is more correct than colegio since it is the equivalent at least in Mexico to High School and colegio means literally college ) está cerca ( close to ) de la iglesia, but por la iglesia is correct

I'm not sure either.  Perhaps you're talking about the admissions counselors?  Admissions is the office that recruits students for the colleges.  Is that what you mean?

Town and gown is a term used to describe the two communities of a university town; "town" being the non-academic population and "gown" the university community, especially in traditional seats of learning such as Oxford and Cambridge. The metaphor is historical in its connotation but continues to be used in the literature on urban higher education and in common parlance.\n\nOrigin\nDuring the Middle Ages, students admitted to the European universities often held minor clerical status, particularly on the continent, and donned garb similar to that worn by the clergy. These vestments evolved into the academic long black gown, worn along with hood and cap. The gown proved comfortable for studying in unheated and drafty buildings and thus became a tradition in the universities. The gown also served as a social symbol, as it was impractical for physical work. (Compare with the gowns worn by Chinese officials.) The hood often was adorned with the colors of the school and designated the young scholar's university affiliation. Thus by their distinctive clothing, the students were set apart and distinguished from the citizens of the town; hence the phrase "town and gown."
