What would be the solution to all this? A shared apartment outside of campus, but close to campus. The chemistry laboratory is also not on campus, but can be reached quickly from campus. Despite all this, the MC would still be a DIK, he just doesn't live in the DIK Mansion.
A simple solution… which you
know won’t be implemented because it removes all the unnecessary drama.
And it might not even be possible. At my college, and at many others, first-years (who weren’t still living with their parents) were required to live on campus. I transferred in as a sophomore; I
thought this wouldn’t apply to me, but it was my first year there, ergo it did. It’s a stupid rule, but colleges rationalize it by saying it’ll help focus the students on their studies, which is
also stupid reasoning; plenty of dormies partied hard, or were distracted by job and family obligations, and flunked out regardless.
Anyway if B&R has such a rule, it traps the MC, Camila, Derek, Josy, Maya, etc. on campus; and explains why Lily is living in the HOT house when she can easily afford her own place.
And if you wanna talk realism, it makes
no sense for Jill to live in the preps’ mansion. She can easily afford to live anywhere else, especially if her parents are paying the ANΩs extra to accommodate her. Anywhere else would be better; she doesn’t have her own bathroom! She has to share it with the
boys who live there. You
know they’re gonna get cum all over the bathtub.
But after the first year, it’d be the easiest thing to rent an apartment. Or, if one of them is old enough or has the connections, a
house. A nice five-bedroom place where they can split the rent five ways; six if they turn the basement into another bedroom; seven if someone’s willing to take the garage.
I have some friends and relatives who were in relationships when they were 16 and are still married after 30 years. When you have found your partner for life, you have found him and it doesn't matter at what age you found him. If it fits, then it fits.
My grandparents married at 16 and 15, respectively; and were entirely wrong for each other, and made each other miserable till the day Grandpa died. Sometimes it doesn’t fit at all, but you stay together because lay Catholicism threatens you with eternal damnation if you don’t.
