This is what the school's boarding school is like

Room with a view? Single or double room? Room on the first floor or second floor?

With us, each room has its own character. They are slightly different sizes and look a little different. When students move in, the rooms become even more personal and unique.

The Folk High School is a boarding school, so most students live at the school. You decide for yourself how you want your room to be.
