You haven't grew up in Clergy and originally, you weren't supposed to stay at all. It was meant to be something like a summer camp, understanding Clergys religion and all that stuff, better than arguing with your parents and authorities that you don't have a job. Eventually, summer turned into extended year, and one year turned into multiple ones. It became your home, your sanctuary
