What kind of sexuality GQ actually has?
It strickes me as the kind of person that would dinie even the most basic urge if it goes against ideology, she could be straight and refuse to admit it, does she have any real attraction for girls or it is just that she must be lesbian because being straight is unthinkable (even if her mother did sleep with a man or she wouldn't be around).

A little background for GQ . . .
Her mother was a strong feminist and 'green movement' in college. Still, she did meet and fall in love with a guy, they married and had a daughter. Over time though, she got more and more intense in her views, until the point where her husband just couldn't take it anymore, and he left her. This drove her overboard, and she started to hate anything male, and instilled her viewpoint even stronger on her daughter, while spoiling the hell out of her too.
Green Queen may actually be straight, but if she is, it is buried so deep that she will never allow herself to even think of the possibility.
Green Queen needs help. Badly. But no one /wants/ to help her anymore. Ironically, Caroline may have been one of the few people with the combination of stubbornness and compassion to actually put the effort in to salvage something of GQ. Pity Caroline quickly lost any interest in wanting to . . .

Actually, I know a lesbian who avoided the whole "sleep with a man" bit. She and her partner made arrangements with a gay couple they knew.
Short version is gay couple in one bedroom, lesbian couple in another, and a mutual friend running the turkey baster from the first bedroom to the second one.
So while a man is "involved" no "sleeping with" occurred.
GQ's mom more likely would have gone the sperm donor route.

Actually, I sort of wonder about her reaction to Murphy, who does have a natural talent for reanimating the dead, and does not like it at all. I'm not sure that Murphy's ability is necromantic in origin, as it has not been clarified.

So she's now chosen her lab - hopefully once everything's set up and she's explained she prefers to work naked, word will reach Franklin Delarose and/or Sam so the junior security officers don't lech at (or record!) the CCTV footage...
Setting a seventeen digit random number - 1017 possible combinations is probably significnatly higher than most in the Workshops set! I think the possibility of any student wandering in is very remote... unless of course they can hack the staff override code.
Meanwhile, the way GQ was acting in the canteen, I imagine by the time it comes to the grudge match there'll be a significant majority of the campus gunning for Caroline (or at least hoping GQ gets a severe knockdown) - well beyond the boundaries of Poe!

I wouldn't bet on that. I've got plenty of passwords of comparable length: even some that are more than that. I think that the longest I generally remember are about 15 characters: alpha-numeric & special characters, using one of my preferred mnemonic systems. That's about 7015
(70= 2x26 upper and lower case alphabetic, 10 digits, 8 valid special characters.)
If there's a restriction to decimal digits, then it's still easy enough to beat 17 just using the alphabetic assignments on a phone pad.
I also have a bunch which are longer than that and (pseudo) random for which I use a password manager. Oh: and another I remember which is a readable sentence, with punctuation, which is significantly longer. So although a 17 digit "random" number is OK, it's not great and isn't anything special in the real world, let alone WU. (Though I know from professional experience that most people use fairly weak passwords and get quite upset when you insist that they come up with something better.)

The biggest risk in Whateley, rather than password cracking is probably a mix of faked biometrics and shoulder-surfing with devisor bugs. Hence Ayla's recent deliveries using a mental password, (sort of).

The thing I don't like about password requirements is when it's absurdly complex for a relatively unimportant thing. For example, University E-mail: Must be changed every 3 months, can't include even a 3 character string from one of your last 12 passwords, must include upper and lower case, numbers AND special characters.
Bank account password: Must include letters and numbers.
Guess which one is secure, yet I still remember it?
I usually come up with a 4-word password, and replace some letters with numbers of significance to me and no one else. Though to be honest, that's not what I did with my bank password. However, with my school password, I usually get the tech guys to override the requirements and use the same junk password I use for lots of junk accounts because I don't give two fucks if someone gets into my school email and sees the 400 newsletters they've sent me (and absolutely nothing else of consequence.)
Soon after, the blood of the innocents would rain down from the Cradles, all at the hands of a single Links. One who will be the greatest monster mankind has ever seen, taking more lives than any other in history.
