 Go down one flight. At the bottom, continue straight ahead (crossing a long corridor stretching
to your left and right) into a short corridor which ends in a flight of stairs.

332N = Norfolk Building, Room 332
The best way to find this room is to enter the Norfolk Building via Surrey Street.

However the Surrey Street entrance is security protected, requiring you to swipe your student card
to enter the building. Your student card will be automatically linked to enable you to open this door,
but not until around week 3 of your first year at the College.
Indoor route to 332N:

 About half way down, just after the entrance to the Great Hall (which is on your left), on your

 Turn right, entering the landing of an ornate ironwork staircase.
 Take the stairs UP one flight.
 On the first landing, continue straight ahead through the double brown doors (sign above doors

 Follow the narrow corridor as it turns left, passing next across the landing of a staircase (which
has wooden banisters), through a green door onto another landing with orange carpet
 Go down the short flight of stairs before you, continuing straight ahead into the Norfolk Building
