switch842: (Glee: Kurt/Blaine Running)
[personal profile] switch842
So, I've just written my first Glee fic and have been reading quite a few, too. And I'm wondering if I've made a huge error. See, all the fics I'm reading reference dorms at Dalton. I assumed that Dalton did not have dorms. There are plenty of private schools that operate like regular schools - kids bussed/driven in for the day and then home. Have we seen anything that concludes Dalton does have dorms? I'm just horribly confused right now...

Unless we hear specifically otherwise, I would say they have both boarders and kids who go there just for the day.

That makes sense. So Kurt and other kids still living at home is perfectly reasonable. *nods* :-)

I don't think we know. However, one fic I wrote I made it have dorms since it fit in with the story. :P

LOL

So, until we know for sure either way, both are possibilities? OK...

Though, this could help explain how Kurt is able to afford to go. Places like that, it's often the room and board that get you on the fees. Just straight tuition isn't always $$$$$$$. Ya know? So, Blaine and some other kids could live in whatever available dorms they have and the more local kids just attend for classes. *nods* :-)

True. We don't know much backstory on Blaine, anyway. He may not be an Ohioan. His parents may live out of state. I'm thinking he's a year older than Kurt. I don't know why.

Kurt will have to come back to McKinley when the money runs out. I just hope Blaine will go with him. If Kurt leaves and has to say good-bye to Blaine because his Dad can't afford the tuition anymore the angst will just kill me. TPTB won't do that to us, will they???

Yes, I do believe Blaine is a year older than Kurt.

I hope Blaine goes with him, too. He better, at least. They're too amazing together to not actually be together! LOL

Since it's not really Cannon I think you could get away with either or both for your fic. I don't think anyone would care. ;)

part of me want's to say yes, because the episode after the wedding episode Fin says that he hasn't talked to Kurt since then (which leads me to believe that Burt yanked Kurt out of school right after the wedding but before they went on the honeymoon).

But I could be wrong.

Hmm... Interesting. I may have to go back and rewatch that. And possibly rewrite my entire story. LOL

I only caught that because I was like 'wait...don't they live together now or is Fin still kicked out of Burt's house?' (they never did follow through with the rest of that plot point btw)

Yup, just rewatched. There it is. Kurt saying he hasn't talked to Finn since the wedding. Dammit... :-(
