By late evening, the chaos had settled down, and the students were in their dorms for the first time, with many of their parents waiting hopefully for the call that their precious angels weren't ready to be alone and needed a pickup.
Their hopes were rapidly dashed, though, and the Academy staff were all professionals with a lot of experience getting kids used to new surroundings. They had games set up, social activities, and a party that ran late into the night kept most of the students far too entertained to think of leaving.
Even the less social ones, who were exploring the VR pods and the library full of replicated books, didn't have many complaints.
