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

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?

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.

@HushedWhispers

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.

In Depth Appearance;

Standing at a height of 5'11" and weighing in at 164 lbs. makes him fairly skinny. He's three-quarters Korean and one-quarter caucasian. Dark hair, dark eyes, nice teeth and generally good-looking. He keeps his hair fairly long and sometimes he'll dye it a bit lighter than its natural black. No tattoos or scars to speak of, though his ears used to be pierced. Often confused with his twin brother, Min-jun.

Clothing Style;

Being somewhat vain makes Leo very concerned about his appearance and he prides himself on keeping up with the latest styles and trends, not just in western culture but Korea, Japan, and Europe as well so he has a fairly extensive wardrobe. Blazers, slacks, scarves, side-zip jackets, cardigans, pullovers, patterned button-downs, and vests all help to satisfy his sense of style and modernity. All brand-names, of course.

Fears;

Rejection
Isolation

Personality;

In spite of his obvious flaws, Leo is a very enjoyable person to be around. He and his brother were very popular in high school so he's quite accustomed to being in the limelight. He's always been an attention-seeker in his own right. In spite of his bright and colorful exterior, Leo has struggled with several bouts of deep depression and at a few points in his teenage years almost completely lost his sense of self. He tends to take criticism very personally, especially from friends and family, and his relationship with his parents is strained as a result.

Place of Origin;

Background;

Even though he and his brother were born in South Korea, they only lived there for a few years before the family emigrated to Canada, and their father is a successful surgeon in British Columbia. Korean was mainly spoken in the home and English outside and at school, so the twins grew up bilingual. They adopted Western names since teachers and classmates had a hard time pronouncing their given names correctly, though they are still their legal names. Their parents were somewhat strict and the twins grew up conditioned with good manners and healthy habits. They both had a vested interest in Kpop and music in general, and began taking music and voice lessons at a young age. Working together with the best tutors money can buy, they excelled in singing and became adept at playing various musical instruments. While Leo pursued a career in the entertainment field, Julio started what would become a very successful YouTube channel to chronicle their adventures.
As graduation neared they applied to various art schools in Canada and the U.S. before finally being accepted into Hollywood. Their parents paid for Leo's tuition while Julio managed to land himself a scholarship. And, well, here they are.

In Depth Appearance;

Practically identical to Leo: 5'11" and 165 lbs. Skinny with somewhat Eurasian features. Black hair sometimes dyed, brown eyes, full lips and a nice smile. He doesn't cut his hair very often so it tends to be longer that his brother's. He does have a tattoo on his right side, just above the waistline.

Clothing Style;

Fairly casual and laid-back, Julio's wardrobe is simple. Jeans, band T-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants. He does own one suit for special occasions and often borrows Leo's clothes if he feels like he needs to dress up a bit more.

Fears;

Disappointing his parents

Personality;

Julio has always been the more laid-back of the two. Leo was the initiator, and he was the follower who always played along. He used to be inseparable from his brother and the two were seen together so constantly that they came to be thought of as the same person, and Julio's introverted personality was overrun by Leo's extrovertedness. Helping Leo through his depression really matured him, and he considers himself to be a responsible individual. He's very close to his parents and keeps in touch with them regularly.

I have no idea what a relations chart is...can I have an example :L

@gowia

It's just like a list that shows the current relationships between the characters. Like who's friends with who, basically.

I'm all for it. Working on my CS now.

Fused At Birth

@Strawberry425 I PM'd you my CS. Lemme know if it's good or if I missed anything.

TFW you need a support group and the first thing that pops to mind is a shitty internet subforum

Well, you learn something new every day.

Including lies, from a christian school that thinks that Bible stories apparently spun to put Judeo-Christian societies in the best possible light.

@Jig

A serious study of Jewish history and the Bible will reveal that the Hebrews were actually the most stubborn, pig-headed, stiff-necked, difficult people ever.

That's not to say any society is better or worse, they're all pretty much equally flawed, just in different areas.

It's too late at night for long complex theological arguments

You're right. Long and complex theological arguments should be done either in the late morning or early afternoon, preferably over coffee and donuts.
