Student Rooms


The school has about 6000 pupils, of which I think 3000/4000 stay on Campus. They live in Apartment blocks, there is two for the boys and two for the girls. From the outside they look like holiday flats and wouldn't really look out of place in Spain or at least Blackpool!

We presumed that there were two sets of bunk beds in each room-so shared by four. It wasn't until we went in a room after having lunch with Hunter and Dave that we found out that 8 kids were crammed in, with nothing more than a bed each and a phone line to share between them.

The kids were quite happy there, and enjoyed giving us a very bried tour. We both felt quite bad as our apartments are so nice and we still have the gall to complain over little things.

The picture shows Dave in a Room with 8 Boys in various states of undress- this photo is of course completely unconnected with the above story!
