FYI, they kick you out during the holidays. You have to pay for every day during holiday that you stay here. This policy is different at different colleges.
The college is somewhat spread out. You have the "Old Courts" which are in the main college location near the center of the town. These rooms are in the best location, but they tend to be smaller and colder with stone staircases you have to climb to get to your room. These rooms are within the walls of the college so you don't get the noise of drunken street wanderers. Makinde was placed here after complaining about not having internet access (which i will get to) in his original room in 37 Green Street.
