Although you will have your own keys to come and go as you please, you will have to respect some rules and schedules, especially for mealtimes.
Meals: Dinners offered on request (but the majority of students book the breakfast/lunch option). If you are following a programme of 25 lessons or more (per week) discuss changing to breakfast and dinner with CESA, as it may be easier for you.
