Another interesting difference between the Academy and the Institute?
Their dorm policies.
Whereas every single student in the Academy was required to move into their dorms of their respective Team, the Institute allowed students to stay home with their parents instead of at the dorms if they wished. This was apparently the way it was done up to high school. Once most students reached high school age, they would typically stay in the campus dorms full-time, though there was still a healthy percentage of students who chose to stay home instead.
Obviously, I had no choice but to stay in a dorm. And unlike the Academy dorms, the Institute only housed two students per dorm. Thus, when Nomura escorted me back to my dorm after visiting Mr. Sycamore, it was to discover that my dorm was empty.
