locking rooms at dorms? (little spoilers)

[FreedoMark]

hey, finished game yesterday and wanna ask for one unimportant thing but i wondered why the girls didnt lock their rooms at dormitories so Max was able to get into Victoria's room and she did the same to her and destroyed something and stole cookies or something like that... whilst when Max needed to get to Nathan's room she had to break the lock... why would u not lock your room when there are many other people on the same floor and you know that some of them are your enemies? you have even laptop there etc.

The same reason why the girl who gave you the task to find evidence about victoria was able to lock in the other girl in her own room, there wouldn't been a way to lock someone in from the inside because the door is opened from the inside. Max could been asked to sneak in to victoria's room from the window and break the glass or bend up the lock and use rewind and she's on the other side.
Max broke the handle on Nathan's door by using a fire extinguisher to open the lock if this now makes sense because the handle and the lock isn't normally connected to each other or it was a really cheap lock who broke apart as soon the handle fell off.

It was open because there was no lock and and it's another reason why to sign the surveillance petition or Victoria is sloppy at closing the door before she leaves her room. Max doesn't lock her room either and Nathan walks in to her room and paints the wall.

We can agree by now girls dorm doesn't have any locks on their doors and the school is too cheap to buy new ones. Nathan whose dad owns the school understood the need of privacy and the rest don't want to spend money on buying a new door to a dormroom and them most likely don't dare to have anything of value in their rooms either, this can be an explanation why Max kept her best clothes at home.
Now we know why Max have to keep walking around with a bag, she can't leave anything in the dorm room of value because who knows when Victoria or Nathan want to visit Max room while she not there.

Story/plot basically Max needed to go into Victoria's room for the story so they made it like that...and of course the other girl needed to be locked in her room, which I found really silly because that could cause some REAL problems....think if there was a fire and someone hated another student they could kill them by locking them in their room so that would NEVER be possible...but for story/plot it can I guess :) :P

Lol like lock Victoria in after setting building on fire? Bouahah.. BOUAHAHAH lol.

But once when you have to go in Victoria's room, Taylor amd Courtney leave the door open. But the second time, there is no explanation. At least you habe to open Nathan's room with fire extinguisher which makes sense aswell.

Okay, thanks to all for answers... Another thing that interested me was when Max had to drive during the storm to the diner.. she turned 18 at the start of the game.. I am not sure since what age you can make driving licence in US but for the rest of game she didnt seem to have one - Chloe drove with her or she used bus on way to school... also there was really bad weather that made it hard to drive even for more experienced drivers... even trees could fall etc. yet she made it without problems to the town... It was weird a little as well

Some places, you can start out as young at 15 for a permit, and drive on your own at 16.

Having a license is much different than having a car. For her sake, it was probably more economically sound not to bring her own car if she drove one. There are people I know that end up maybe not having a license until their late twenties, commuting by public transportation since they dont need to drive. If you live in a big city, it's more convenient. Since Max moved to Seattle, either option is on the table, so its not a problem if she does or does not have one.

16 but as Jackenn points out above basically whatever the plot requires at the time.
