Residence Amenities?
What sort of things, beside rooms and bathrooms, are in the residence buildings, particularly matthews?

my friends at waterloo said they had ping pong tables and pools tables in their basement? do we?

what about our common rooms? I know we have a fridge, a kitchen setting, a tv, probably some couches to go with that tv...anything else? any Foosball tables?

just wondering because i have ping pong table in my basement and was wondering if i should practice xD

You can only play the piano before quiet time.

The CAs will tell you to stop playing if anyone hears/reports it.

Matthews has a large game room in the basement with a pool table, ping pong table and foosball table. there are also couches and chairs in the games room. around the corner there are male/female washrooms and the piano room (which is literally a piano and two chairs in a room). The basement also has a rather large common room with loads of seating and long tables on one side you can use for studying, or whatever. Across from that common room is a smaller study room with a few tables and chairs. There is also 2 bike rooms in the basement.

There are common rooms on the 1st floor as well, with a 'tv area' which has the tv, a few tables and sort of comfortable furniture. Another section is generally just couches for hanging out. Then there is the kitchen section with a stove, fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle, as well as cupboards and drawers if you want to store stuff there (i would not recommend it). Each little wing on first floor has a common room. There are not any common rooms on floors 2-4.

LindsayL216, ricechrispy all say thanks to morsmordre for this post.

Yes Keyes does have a piano. It is in the basement and you have to sign out the key at the service desk. In fact every residence does have at least one piano in it.
