I've been present but mostly lurking on MTS for years and having watched the last few lot contests, I decided to throw my hat in the ring for this one... Thank you for the contest. It looks like a lot of fun.
Easton College
Easton College is an old world, private liberal arts university. It accepts only the most elite students (aka those whose parents can pay the hefty entrance and bribery fees). As a result, it is steeped in both snobbery and tradition. Brick buildings covered in ivy, dorms which only accept students from one major, and so on. As a result, when looking at the university's ad photos, it can be hard to believe that students actually live there. They most certainly do, but the daily shifts of maids certainly keep things tidy.
The Billings House belongs to upper class Literature students. Tucked away in the countryside, this dorm is an ivy covered wonder to behold.
There are only six dorm rooms, each of which of course comes with a luxurious double bed, a computer desk, and a dresser (not pictured).
There are literature themed posters around the ground floor, plastered there by previous students with a love for books and a disregard for the ancient wallpaper.
The refectory offers a few intimate table settings and frequently offers a delicious selection of cakes and sandwiches.
The study room contains two computers available for anyone's use. Though all students attending Easton can afford their own, sometimes it's nice to sit down in the study for a change of pace. There are also two bookshelves in this room (a must for literature students!), though they are not shown.
Further activities provided in the house include two chess tables (which are both good fun and a chance to stretch the mind), an ancient radio, a television, a mahjong table, and even a nectar bar. The bookshelves and multiple stacks of books around the dorm are meant to represent the literature focused students who live here, as well as the television - they need a large screen so they can stare at Colin Firth after all and discuss the merits of his performance as Darcy!
Finally, all previous occupants of the dorm would agree that by far the best feature of Billings House is the garden (when it's not raining!). There are both a hammock and a bench to curl upon with a good book (or required reading), while a bistro set is a popular setting for cream tea in the summer. For students stressed about papers, exams, and future career prospects, this certainly is the perfect place to relax and remind themselves of their love for literature.
