In addition to your bedroom, there are a variety of spaces where you can work or relax, play games, or practise the piano. In each house, there is an ODR (the Old Dining Room), perhaps the symbolic heart of the house, where you can catch up with your friends at the end of the day. There is also the GDR (the so-called ‘Girls’ Dining Room’, although it is now a common room), with a television and DVD player, and the Hobbies’ Room which has games and puzzles to enjoy in the evening.
You will be fed very well in the Main Dining Room for all meals, but you also have the option of making toast or preparing pasta in the evening, and this can be done in the pantry kitchen which is next to the ODR, where there are cookers, hobs, and fridges, or in the ‘snug areas’ on the Lower and Middle corridors.
