Based on our child’s experience, you get your dorm assignment later in the summer. You will then be assigned a roommate. Midway through the year, everyone will then switch roommates based on feedback. The dorms seem to be a really cohesive unit. Aside from dorm dinners, they seem to rally around each other at school events. My child found it to be a very positive experience. As for math, it seems to be all over the map. They have their own breakdown which is a little different than Geometry/Algebra II/Pre-Calc but there are students starting at each of those. You have to keep in mind that since they have students from all over the world, not all are starting at the same place. They do like to ensure you have had ALL of the material they will cover before going on to the next level though. Based on your classwork and topics covered, they will place you accordingly. Hope that helps!
