I was thinking Spring or Fall so that school would have just started up. As for the school's name and appearance...
Building The students will require a special transmission device so that they are able to leave and enter the school grounds at will. I'd say it could be a bracelet, or another item like a tag on their cellphone. This transmitter/item needs to run across censor bars that are located in the entrance to the main building. The information it sends would be their student ID information. So, the student name, ID number, Dorm Room, and a picture of the student. As for the name... How about: Avisdale University?
I'm fine with the picture looking near in appearance to Whyspe, by the way.
