The Jhiaxian Academy of Advanced Technology currently has a maximum student capacity of 600, with plans to expand should this initial trial period be successful. The first class of the school is 561 younglings, 195 of whom are colony exchange students. The entrance exams weren't easy, but they were available to any youngling willing to take them, from the lowest caste compact children to the kids with the richest creators. The children of faculty applicants were offered the exams prior to the general public, but were still required to pass in order to enroll.
Dorms
There are ten dorms, with ten rooms per dorm. Each room has one mech of each size class, with exceptions made to keep twins together, for a maximum of six students per room. Trines and close siblings are usually kept in the same dorm unless otherwise requested. Apart from that, housing is mostly randomized to ensure a broad mix of different cultures, castes, and frametypes, so every student is exposed to new things they've never encountered before. Each dorm has an adult overseer, part of the faculty, as well as maintenance staff regularly going through to clean and check on the students.
(NOTE: most students are simply background characters. As such, filling in all 561 names for every single room has not been a priority. Assume that rooms missing from this list are populated.)
