I thought she inherited money when her parents died... and like Ryuka said, everyone should be living at the Mansion.<br/><br/>The question about the dorms is that she's 18, presumably a Freshman, and most colleges/universities require Freshmen to live on campus during their first year unless they have residency in that state.  Mikaela loosing her parents at the age of 17 would've likely made the state step in, unless another relative was available, which would cause a whole lot of legal issues.  She could've, of course, turned 18 shortly after her parents death making her a legal adult and that would bypass all the other stuff.<br/><br/>Still the question begs to be asked, why is she living in this mansion instead of the one her parents left her?<br/><br/>There are probably questions I should've asked prior to now.
