Description
Changes to the College of Winterhold:

You can ask Faralda to join the college straight away.
You can choose a favored school of magic when speaking to Faralda at the entrance.
Faralda will not sell you the spell to cast and will instead tell you to go to the court wizards to get it (revert to vanilla behavior by setting MGI_FaraldaSellsSpells to 1).
Several errors in the journal entries for the entry tests are fixed.
You can enter the College by shouting after completing The Way of the Voice (MQ105).
Faralda will not repeat herself saying "Well done indeed." before leading you across the bridge.
Faralda will not randomly stop to greet you while leading you to the gate.
Faralda will finish lighting the wells even if you run past her.
Mirabelle will give you the appropriate robes corresponding to your entry test.

Rearranged some of Tolfdir's dialogue options during the quest to be more natural.
Fixed Nerien greeting you with generic lines (e.g. "Those are College of Winterhold robes, aren't they?") when he first appears.
Reduced mist FX in the burial shaft to increase visibility of the section underneath.

Adjusted the Augur of Dunlain's lines that would play in the Midden Dark as you approach so that they will occur more consistently. (credit: Misc. College of Winterhold Tweaks - The Augur's Admonishment by SomethingObscure)
Miscellaneous
It is possible to break into the Arch-Mage's Quarters either by picking the lock or pickpocketing Savos Aren. This makes it possible to get the Unusual Gem/Stone of Barenziah.
