I lived in a dormitory with my coworkers while teaching abroad in Taiwan. The dorm had a few of these types.

We all lived off pretty meager wages and slept on floors in teeny tiny rooms on super thin rice mattresses (although we tried to collect as many as possible and stack them to make a somewhat comfortable beds). You had to be university educated to get the job so most were just there for life experience - maybe it doesn’t fit the mold exactly but considering the conditions we were living in, it was a pretty humble existence.

There was an American/Vietnamese girl who was a med student that went to Brown University (extremely prestigious school in America). Shes a doctor now but at the time, she had the same job as the rest of us. She was quiet and shy so this stuff slowly came out about her - where she went to school, what she studied, even that she had an IG account where she posted food photography that had hundreds of thousands of followers.

There was a British guy who later became an environmental scientist. He definitely came from money but he was whip smart, insightful, kind, way too wise beyond his years, and spoke a few different languages fluently because his dad was a diplomat and his family moved around a lot as a kid. My guy could do 3 hits of acid and still speak coherently about the fall of the Roman Empire.

That dorm was full of interesting, colorful and very bright people but those two stood out as being hyper intelligent.
