Just a note of interest to those who go "out" to eat in the "town", there are cameras outside the school and all exits/entryways to monitor student safety. No one will stop you from leaving but if you leave during class hours there is a high chance you will be called into the Principals office at a later time. Those of you who are returning students would know this but very few who chance it know exactly what happens.<br/><br/>Also... as for the Dome itself .. a little reminder on the setting:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Nebula High is situated in a massive environmentally controlled dome in remote Antarctica, though it's exact location is a closely guarded secret.  The material that comprises the dome is high tech and gives a realistic illusion of the sky and the horizon, giving the school the false appearance from inside of being in a lush valley surrounded by a rainforest.  Despite the illusions, there are sensors which are tripped as people get near the edge of the dome that alert you that you are near the edge.  Most of the students who had been there for more than a year are fully aware of the dome, but it will be very new to new students.  The dome is very large, about two and a half miles across and a half mile (a bit over 2000 feet) tall.<br/><br/>The High School itself is located in the middle of the dome, with a small "town" just off campus.  The town has a small mall for students to shop and hang out at with a movie theater that plays the latest blockbuster movies.  The theater is free to all students and faculty.  The mall has various things that you would expect a mall to have, like an espresso stand, clothing stores, a video game store and a hobby and crafts store as well as various restaurants in the food court, which includes a McDonalds, a Subway and a Wok Inn (Asian take out-style food).  The town also has various houses and apartments for the people (adults) who run the stores and such.  There is even a public park with a playground for the children of the workers who live with them there.  For those with the means, some of the students' families even live in the dome in a small suburban neighborhood, so some of the students don't need to live in the dorms.<br/><br/>The school campus is large.  This year the student population is about 500.  There is parking for the staff on the west side of campus... a road leading from there to town.  There is a softball field in the southwest corner and a large grassy field in the middle of the campus.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
