Los colegios mayores son centros universitarios que ofrecen residencia a estudiantes universitarios, estudiantes de posgrado y, en ciertos casos, a profesores. Los residentes participan en sus actividades culturales, deportivas y recreativas, y también pueden participar en dichas actividades las personas que no viven en los colegios mayores.           
           Con pocas excepciones, los colegios mayores incluyen servicios como los de lavandería (lavado y planchado de ropa personal y de cama) y limpieza de la habitación. La mayoría de las instalaciones incluyen sala de estudio, sala de televisión, sala de ping-pong, actividades culturales y deportivas y teléfono en la habitación (con conexión a Internet).       
            En ciertos casos, los colegios mayores ofrecen excursiones a lugares históricos/culturales y a actos culturales como conferencias sobre temas de actualidad así como información sobre conciertos y exposiciones de arte en las ciudades y en las universidades.
            Cada 15 minutos un autobús de línea regular comunica la zona de los colegios mayores, transportando a los residentes directamente hasta las instalaciones universitarias más importantes como la biblioteca, el centro estudiantil y el gimnasio.

Name at least two special rooms and one special feature that most of the residences include.

Dr. Osamu Tezuka is a legend. He is the “Walt Disney of Japan,” but mere words cannot even begin to describe his work. a.________________ Osamu Tezuka was born in 1926 in Osaka, Japan, the son of a doctor. b.________________ When he was a boy he was heavily influenced by American cartoonists. While studying to enter the medical profession, he published several comics, most notably Mighty Atom. It is the story of a robot boy who is disowned by the man who invents him but eventually finds someone to care for and nurture him. The story is well written c.________________ and rife with subplots, intrigue, and danger for the little robot. Mighty Atom was an instant hit in Japan and made Osamu Tezuka’s name a household word. In 1962, Tezuka saw the rapidly expanding technology of television as his future. He decided that his first made-for-TV animation would be based on his number-one-selling comic, Mighty Atom. (When NBC bought the rights for U.S. audiences, this anime became known as Astro Boy.) d.________________ In 1982 he left commercial animation altogether and went to work for himself e.________________, literally changing the face of Japanimation. With a unique love for the medium Tezuka has influenced a new generation of American cartoonists— strange to think about since he himself was influenced by American cartoonists at Disney!
