The good thing about boarding school is after school lessons are over, then you'd a ready assembled group for games and all manner of activities plus facilities you may not of had at home.
We played Table Tennis not that with my co-ordination I was good at it or squash, we played board games that didn't get too argumentative or might go to the theatre or cinema as a group with staff to keep an eye on us.
We did have a video recorder which wasn't something we had until I left school so we could see shows you otherwise might of missed in an age without iPlayer or school might hire a video for us to watch but it was always a shared thing.
The only thing that might be personal was your radio or tape recorder that was in the dorm but you needed to keep the volume down a bit if you didn't want a unexpected knock on the door.
After all these years it is that shared experience, the names of those you spent that time with that come back to you.
