will add more throughout time

+ OOC QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

What’s the concept of the RP?
The “official” title is Boarding High School AU. It is a High School concept but with dorms for students to live on campus. For those who knows this show, think of it like Zoey 101’s PCA but in Seoul!

Since it’s a High School, does our FC have to be 18 and under in real life?
Nope! School of America is open for any FCs. Which is why the High School is an International school!

Are there any majors?
Nope! No Majors!

Why is there a schedule? Do we have to follow them?
No, you don’t have to! It’s for plotting purposes.

Can members apply as teachers?
Since the setting is the dorms, members are not allowed to apply as Teachers! But! TAs are welcomed. wink wonk.
If there's options of classes, do we get to pick one?
Yes! You have to pick one of the the two! Fun idea for plots, put in your schedule and classes in your carrd (or whatever you used for your OC!)
What happens if we want to change our Student Plan? Do we tell Base?It would be preferred but not necessary! If it's for plotting reasons, let your fellow members know about Plan change! I'm sure they would love to know!

How do we interact with others on the tl? Do we know each other? Or is it a new year?
Depending on your Year! If you're a new upcoming freshmen, of course everyone is new to you! But if you're any year above, you already know everyone!

What happens if your OC is a Transfer Student?
Then that would be a different story! Just like the freshmen, you don't know much people. When coming into the RP, put that somewhere in your profile to avoid confusion! But only at the start, if it's already in your carrd/whatever platform you used then you're fine!

I don't have a room yet, why is that?
If you're an incoming member, then you must reach 50 tweets to have a room. If you're not an incoming member, please let Coordinator now asap!
