For a quieter space, open your books on the desk in your room and research using the free Wi-Fi.

Hang out in the 24-hour clubhouse with your friends and watch the plasma TVs, or challenge a friend to a game of billiards or ping pong in the games room.

If you’d rather soak up the sun, join one of the community pool parties or relax in the hot tub. If you plan to stay in, get your friends over and prepare a hearty meal in your well-equipped kitchen. While your dishwasher handles the washing up, host a movie night by borrowing some free movies from the DVD library.
