Take a look at the pictures below and perhaps you will begin to get an answer to such questions. The CA dormitory has four houses, each with a staff family as house parent. The dorm parents provide a warm welcome each year to new and returning students. Each dorm room is designed for two students, and each house has six double rooms.
Houses are typically single sex units.
Students can personalize their rooms with posters, stereo's and in this case, an avid musician keeps his violin close at hand. Student rooms can be quite informal at times, as is the part of the room chosen for study. Snacks are easy to arrange as each house has a fully equipped kitchen and lounge. Leaving the dormitory in the evening during study break requires that student notify the dorm parent on duty check out and in. The dorm parents are also teachers at CA, so students can find help with their subjects during homework hours.
