The dorms at Marsia Academy include large rooms complete with bed, storage (a chest of drawers); a desk and terminal for each student. There is also a bathroom and a half bath (consisting of a mirror, storage area and sink with washbowl). Each dorm room is also equipped with a replicator and payment for items created is taken from the students account. Each room also has a small sofa. Each dorm room is designed for two students. High level students or student government officers are given their own room dependent upon room availability. Two dorms are for boys and two or for girls. One dorm for each gender is contained on each dorm floor. The dorm common area consists of a utility room, 4 couches, a holo-television, an access terminal, a student notice board and the residential life office for each dorm. Each office is staffed by a residential life dorm aide from end of classes to lights out who supervises the students, provides independent living support, room assignments, conflict resolution services and other related residence services. During lights out one senior dorm aide is charged with monitoring dormitory security from the office next to the lifts where students leave the dorms. There is also a small common area here for students with chairs, a student government notice board and vending machines. During classes students are forbidden from accessing the dorms. During off hours before lights out the Director of Student Life maintains the office where the night dorm aide stays and this office is the Residential Life Management Office. This office approves students leaving the station, taking days off, provides them with general medical or social advice and ensures students are safe and happy. Students of the opposite sex are forbidden to access the dorm of the other unless given express permission by the Director of Student Life; occasionally this is allowed when students are siblings or legally married couples whom are over the legal age of consent (by Terran Federation Civil Welfare Guidelines this age is 16). Married couples are also occasionally allowed to live in the same room providing they follow all established school rules.
