Hence, if you are looking to join one as soon as you come out of the Sewers, then the guide below will help you out.
How to join a Mage’s Guild right away in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered
You will be able to join a Mage’s Guild at any given time in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered. There is one Mage’s Guild in every major town of the game, and you can head over to any one of them first to join it.
So as soon as you are done finalizing your character, you will come out of the sewers and head over to one of the Mage’s Guild in a city. You can either do this by manually going to a town near you or by opening up your map and looking for a town that you can fast travel to.
Once you head to a city, make your way to the Mage’s Guild and talk to the Guild Master. You will then automatically become a part of it without having to meet any sort of requirement.
However, if you want to advance as a mage in the guild, you will need to complete recommendation quests given out by the respective Guild Master. Every guild master provides you with a recommendation that differs a fair bit from each other.

There are a total of 7 Mage’s Guilds in Oblivion, so you will have to complete each of their recommendation quests to finally gain access to the Arcane University.
