Boys usually stay at Eton for five years (between the ages of 13-18). There are two major libraries: College library and School library. The tutorial system allows pupils to choose their own academic tutors to supervise their work.

Sport plays an extremely important part in the life of most Etonians. The principal games are rugby and football, cricket and rowing, athletics, swimming, golf, tennis, fencing, judo and karate are all very popular.

The boys are offered a very wide range of opportunities for spare-time activities: art, sculpture, poetry and printmaking, woodwork, metalwork and silverwork; almost any musical instrument can be learnt; fifty societies, run by boys themselves, cater for enormous number of interests.
