宿舍生活
国立历史BTT365 uses three dormitories at Foxcroft School: Reynolds, Orchard and Stuart. 男生和女生住在不同的宿舍.
每个单独的宿舍都有一个公共休息室和厨房, the 客厅 is a great place for students to study or relax. It includes a smart TV where students can watch shows or movies. 宿舍会议也将在这里举行. The kitchen features a fridge where students can store personal items, 还有一个公用冰箱，用来存放公用物品.
The laundry room is located in the basement; courtesy baskets are provided and usage is free, 然而, students must bring their own detergent- individual pods are recommended as they are the most convenient.
Sleeping porches house around 9-10 students depending on the dorm. Students are allowed to roam campus until curfew which is at 10:00 pm; lights out are typically at 10:30 pm. 在睡觉的门廊里，插座有限, so it is recommended to bring an extension cord as not everyone will have access to an outlet near their bed.
Rooms are shared between three to four students, each student has their own desk and closet. An individual air conditioning unit is used for each room allowing students to have their desired temperature preference.
每个房间都有一个公用浴室. There are two sinks, a toilet stall, and a stand up shower. There is a door separating the bathroom from the rest of the room that can be closed for more privacy. Students need to bring their own hand soap as none is provided.
The idea of a sleeping porch may seem odd at the beginning, 然而, the reasoning behind it makes sense; separating work from sleep. Doing so allows those who want to take naps or sleep to do so peacefully, as the sole purpose of the sleeping porch is for sleeping. 大厅对面, 在共用房间里, students can get work done without disturbing those trying to sleep.
