The information about Holderby Hall is incorrect. There is not a laundry room on every floor. The laundry rooms are only located on odd numbered floors. Also, floors five through nine are girls' floors. The bathrooms are mostly clean, but the locks are often broken on stall doors, particularly in the male bathrooms. -
