Student life in boarding schools can be organized around a house system, where students live and interact in a smaller, more supportive community within the larger school. Each house typically has a housemaster or housemistress who is responsible for the students’ welfare and supervision, and who also serves as a mentor and advisor.

In a house system, students generally have a sense of belonging and camaraderie, as they live and study together and participate in various activities and events. Houses may also compete against each other in academics, sports, and other events, fostering a sense of friendly competition and teamwork.

Student life in a boarding school house can include:

• Shared living quarters: Students typically have a shared bedroom or dormitory, and may share common areas such as a lounge, kitchen, and bathroom.
• Meals: Students generally eat meals together in the house dining room or cafeteria, and may have the opportunity to prepare and share meals with their housemates.
• Social and recreational activities: Houses may organize and participate in a variety of activities and events, such as movie nights, games, trips, and community service projects.
• Study and support: Students may have access to shared study spaces and resources, and may receive tutoring and other academic support from their housemaster or housemistress.
