You’ll remember that dormatories aren’t hotels, so you won’t find hair dryers or ironing boards in your room and you may want to pack something warm to sleep in because, just like your old House Mother, sometimes the air conditioner is cranky and stubborn! Bring all your toiletries and any other comfort items you feel you might need. We’ll put the kettle on, but after that you’re on your own! Relive your student dormitory days without the House Mother looking over your shoulder!
