After a long day at school, and then spending time in the yard, you might be feeling tired but don’t feel ready to go to your dorm. Or maybe you want to do homework away from the library and your room mates. Some people like to gather with their friends in the common room instead of the cramped dorms. Whatever the reason, the common room is a great place to chill out. Be careful what you get up to in here though, anyone can come in at any time, including teachers. If you’re gonna break a rule, it’s much safer to do so in your own dorms.
