@HushedWhispers

All of the guys so far are poor... and there's four of them. 0_0 Just for your information...


@WhiteStar19
I just saw that. Just getting online and figuring things out, at the moment.


Well, Rich and Poor are big generalizations. There's a difference between middle-class poor and my-family-was-homeless-at-one-point poor just like there's a difference between American-dream rich and I-have-my-own-yaht rich. Leo and Julio aren't struggling, but they lack the privileges that many of the "rich kids" probably have.

Also I just had a thought about the dormitories, since my characters are coming all the way from Canada, I assume housing would be available to people who don't live near campus or who live out of state. I know you said only the poor kids would be living in dorms, and while the rich kids can probably afford their own housing off-campus they may not all want to. Another suggestion would be a group (could be a mix of rich and poor) getting together to rent a house. That could be something we could talk about, or I'd be interested in orchestrating if anyone else wants in. It's way cheaper than an apartment so a lot of the poor kids might like that, since living off-campus seems to be almost a status symbol.

Maybe all of our characters could be living in the same house? Make it like a project or something for the school? Hand picked project or something? :/

Could work really well if it was a big enough house. Although for something that big there could be a dissent on the cost of rent, since the students who make less money wouldn't be able to pay as much as the students who make/have more.

I think we'd have more diversity if the characters chose their own roommates, and it would also create conflict since rich kids would live with each other or on their own, while the poor kids would all be closer to each other. I don't know, something to think about I guess. What does everyone else think?

I know I messed up my Hider but the silence treatment from @HushedWhispers seems a little rude *sniffle*

I was actually wanting until you completed your character. I saw your note and your character but didn't think you were done with it.

Considering realism... I would say the rich kids would most likely live off campus because of their parents money. Considering the roleplay... I really don't know. I was looking forward to having parties at Cecily's apartment and stuff and with everyone living on campus, that would be kind of hard. I think the roleplayers would have more freedom if they had their own places. Also, it makes it easier, if someone leaves. It's really hard to repick roommates when someone leaves.

Your character is accepted by the way. :3

@WhiteStar19
Exactly what I was thinking, as well. Which is why I said only the poor people should live on campus due to their scholarships. :3 And I am thinking about having Raquel throw a party at her house too. Great minds think alike. :D

A little bit confused on what to do about this whole poor person thing. Unless @Mivuli or @gowia wants to switch to the Rich side.

@Red_massa
So, besides the hider thingie mabob, your character looks completed. Is he?

@WhiteStar19@HushedWhispers

What if the school doesn't even provide dormitories since it's so elite? Maybe instead they give the poor kids a pension (separate from tuition) to be able to at least afford a studio apartment. Maybe a specific apartment building near campus. Either that or the dorms are just really crappy. That would force the poor kids to come up with other living arrangements. If there's a way they can all contact each other, maybe even an on-campus support group to hook them up, it would make sense for them to find a house somewhere.

Then they could throw their own parties, it could potentially make them more popular with the otherwise elevated rich kids.

OR

We could go with the simple solution which is to stick with the original idea.

Anyway, if anyone who can't afford to live off-campus would be interested figuring out living in a house, let me know, it would be fun to try

assuming my characters are accepted that is

I was just wondering because I'm trying to figure out finances and I'm like, okay, how am I setting things? I need a base...I'm no good at those things lol


Usually for young people it's hard to put a number on an annual sum. If you estimate the hours worked per week/month multiplied by the salary it should be good enough. I don't think accuracy is super critical, it's just a rough estimate that determines income and spending. I'm pretty sure the purpose is just to establish the money gap between the rich and poor students. The only reason I put an annual sum on Julio's CS is because I'm not entirely sure how making money off YouTube works so I had to just Google and guess. On the other hand, Leo makes about the same amount, maybe a little more, than I did when I was working and going to school, so I guess that one was easier for me to fathom.

@Raxacoricofallapatorius Well it was just that I had to adjust my basis a little because otherwise the numbers would be off in comparison to what everyone else was doing lol. I figured it out.

It might be diffcult because Kina's backstory relies heavily on a less-affluent family background. But if there is no other possible choice I would have to change character. Just tell me how it goes and I'll see how I can help, I guess!
