As is common for most British institutions, single rooms with a sink are the norm. All of the colleges are equipped with kitchens and lounges on each floor. The kitchen area often becomes a social area for the hall residents. Pillows, sheets and blankets are provided at no charge. Students should bring, or plan to purchase abroad, towels and cooking utensils.
Special housing is available for disabled students.
Once a student has signed up for a residence hall it is difficult to change or move out. Students should list at least 8 courses on their applications and mark with an asterisk those courses they must have in order to graduate. Each applicant should submit two reference letters from faculty members. One of the letters should be from a professor in the student's major. The letters should state the student's academic ability, major work completed thus far, level of maturity.
