After the first year, you are given an option to choose a new roommate and room, or remain with your new friend in the same room. Throughout the Ridley campus, there are eight different tuck shops where food and snacks can be purchased after study and occasional other times of the day. The proceeds go to a house fund which is used for various charitable causes, and sometimes to purchase furniture and equipment for the house. The last tuck shop is in School House and is run by Grade 12 Business Math students. This is an area for socializing etc.
All houses have a TV for student use.
Some houses also have a pool table, or video game. All residences now have four computer network jacks in the Common Room where students with laptop computers can access TigerNet, our local-area network. As well, each room is equipped with a network jack for each student. Each house is placed under the supervision of a member of the faculty. These are the people that a student can go and talk to if they have any problems.
