Practically all students live away from home. During the first year most live in students` hostels. The halls are not bad as a rule. Sometimes students may share a room or have a room to themselves. Some halls are self-catering and have a kitchen on each floor. In others food is provided and included in a year bill. There are cleaners who come in to clean the room and empty the bins. There is 1(usual) a laundry where there are automatic 2(wash) machines and driers.

Each hall 3(have) a small administrative staff, but in the main the hall is run by the students themselves. A Committee is elected, with a chairman or president by the students.

I lived in one with large damp stains on the walls and even mice droppings. However the state of the house very much 6(depend) on the students who live there and not all of them like to live in pigsties.

In fact the main reason why people so often prefer living in students` houses to being catered for and cleaned for in hall is because of the freedom. There are no 7(rule) in a students` house except the ones you make yourself and there is comparative privacy. It also usually works out cheaper.
