Students wear academic dress. This is a time where Johnsmen get the opportunity to come together and enjoy a three-course meal with friends and guests. In 2000, as part of a major refurbishment plan, kitchenettes have been installed on every floor allowing students to cook up a meal should they feel the need to outside dining hours. Each student gets his own room furnished with a desk, chairs, bookcase, wardrobe and bed. The majority of rooms have sinks and a medicine cabinet.
All rooms have their own telephone and internet access.
The College provides its own linen and rooms are cleaned twice a week. Room allocation is based on seniority which means students get to choose better rooms each year. A rugby field, a soccer field, tennis and squash courts are also owned by the College. The computer room contains IBMs and Macintosh computers as well as CD-ROMs, printing and photocopying facilities. Each room in the College is connected to the University of Sydney network, via high-speed Ethernet connections, allowing students to use the University's computing facilities as well as having internet access without leaving their rooms.
