Most Colleges tend to concentrate on those books required by undergraduates. Undergraduates have access to Departmental Libraries, and to the University Library, although borrowing rights are restricted. Computer facilities - usually a good indication of the relative wealth of a College. As facilities are provided in Departments and in central sites run by the University Computer Service, this does not significantly affect the quality of student life. All Colleges have kitchens and a Hall of some kind serving the usual three meals a day.
Quality varies enormously, with some being notoriously bad.
Most Colleges also provide some cooking facilities near to student rooms, usually basic and not intended for serious use. Most levy a kitchen charge on students living in, but despite this Hall food tends to be cheap. These may take place every day, but are usually less frequent. Some Colleges have reciprocal dining rights for their members at other Colleges. Another advertisment for the Girton specific version of this page, in case you missed it earlier.
