College dorms house a set of people that have been carefully vetted by an admissions committee. I'm not sure if it's possible to recreate such a community and foster trust among a group of adults without some form of prior vetting

If I understand the American high school system correctly, 3.5 is not a particularly high bar, especially with grade inflation in recent decades. For context, most students admitted to Harvard or Yale have close to a 4.0 weighted GPA. It wo
