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.
Identify at least two activities that are offered in some of the residences.

Obesity generally is defined as an accumulation of fat (adipose tissue) beyond what is considered normal for a person's age, sex, and body type. In today's society obesity is considered a disease, not a moral failing. It occurs when energy intake exceeds the amount of energy expended over time. Only in a small minority of cases is obesity caused by such illnesses as hypothyroidism, or the result
of taking medications, such as steroids, that can cause weight gain. The more a person weighs, the more blood vessels the body needs to circulate blood throughout the body. The heart takes on a heavy burden as it has to pump harder to force the blood flow through so many vessels. As a result, the heart grows in size and blood pressure tends to rise. Obesity is also a factor in osteoarthritis (because of the extra weight placed on the joints), gout, bone and joint diseases (including ruptured intervertebral discs), varicose veins, respiratory ailments, gallbladder disease, complications during pregnancy and delivery, and higher accidental death rate. Obesity can alter hormone levels, affect immune function, and cause impotence in men and reproductive problems in women. Women who are 30% overweight are twice as likely to die of endometrial cancer, and those who are 40% overweight have four times the risk. Obese women also are more likely to incur cancers of the breast, cervix, ovaries, and gallbladder. Obese men are more likely to develop cancers of the rectum, colon, esophagus, bladder, pancreas, stomach, and prostate. Obesity can also cause psychological problems. Sufferers are associated with laziness, failure, or inadequate willpower. As a result, overweight men and women blame themselves for being heavy, thus causing feelings of guilt and depression. Scientific evidence has found an association between BMI (body-mass index) and higher death rates. However, the relative risk of being heavy declines with age. Some researchers have found that data linking overweight and death are inconclusive, while other researchers have found that losing weight may be riskier than dangers posed by extra pounds. Some researchers counter that overweight indirectly contributes to over 300,000 deaths a year. A poll by Shape Up America found that 78% of overweight or obese adults have abandoned dieting as a means of losing weight. Diets do not teach people how to eat properly. They merely restrict food intake temporarily, so when the diet ends, weight gain resumes.
