Farrer Hall is a Hall of Residence at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. It has a reputation for being one of the most adventurous halls at Monash. Farrer is divided into two buildings, Commons and Lords, with an annex to Commons called Chastity.
Computers
Farrer Hall's intricate computer network facilities are currently maintained by Martin Karpowicz. Marteen, as he is also known, has a reputation for maintaining the integrity of the system, despite many threats to its security. Martin recommends the responsible use of virus protection.
Ground Floor
Perhaps the best known of the Farrer floors is Ground Floor. (Farrer Hall is an Australian institution, therefore floor numbers go: Ground, First, Second, Third.) This floor is the the lowest floor in the commons building, and is frequently sought after by Farrer residents for its great lifestyle and friendly occupants. Homosexuality is a extremely common on ground floor, and is one of the major factors why many residents not comfortable with this phenomonen choose to live in Howitt instead.
1st Commons
'First commons', as it is known by residents (or "resy's") is the first floor in Farrer Commons. Practical jokes play a prominent role in this environment. Examples including the theft of doors, and excessive noise levels including a subwoofer rated at over 150 dBA.
Chastity
The name derives from the floor originally being an exclusively female zone, reassuring fathers of their daughters ongoing innocence. Still being dominately female, stages two and three (see below) often see Chastity's residents donning each others attire, and offering fashion tips. The family atmosphere of the floor is typified by the sharing attitude of residents, and their patience in waiting for appliances because of the influx of other ferrets who wish to join the jovial atmosphere and take advantage of the black-and-white television on top of the fridge, despite having the smallest kitchen of all the floors. The gatekeeper of innocence is known as RA Steve, ensuring residents remain chaste.
Jack Stephenson
Jack Stephenson was the treasurer of the debateably successful Farrer Hall Society in 2005. He loves to spend time in his bedroom writing reciepts and completing audits and masturbation, a skill which will be handy in his future career as a mechatronic engineer. Jack is probably best known for his poor coordination and inability to properly articulate sentences, particularly in the English language.
Brenton Cruickshank
Brenton, more commonly known as Shanks, is renouned for his extraordinary abilities as a disc-jockey, spinning up records quicker than you can say 'whosyourdaddy' at some of the most popular Farrer Hall functions. Shanks has taken this role to heart, recently investing in a new decked-out, wog-approved, super-woofer system outputting some 'vibrations' throughout the 1st commons floor. In his previous occupation at Shanks' Pool Cleaning services, he received a merit for outstanding performance in cleaning the deepest of pipes.
Thursday Night
It is a proud Farrer tradition, that at the ending of the day which be-called Thursday, the masses head to the Nott for random shenanagans which are generally involve the consumption of alcohol. The night usually comes to end with a series of stolen Nott glasses, fornication amoungst drunks, and potentially vomiting.
Tuesday Night
A recent, yet somewhat popular addition to the Farrer lifestyle, Tuesdays will find people from all over Farrer heading down to room680 nightclub in the suburb of Hawthorn. Whether ones taste in music is House, Pop or even a bit of old school Retro, one will have a great time at room.

The Stages of a Night Out

- Stage Seven - the recovery (a bad hangover would be evidence of a failure of stage seven)
