The General Study Common was added recently and is a place for students to study together, regardless of what their house is. It's more public than the library so that students can chatter all they want and more open than being holed up in an empty classroom or in individual common rooms. The general study is decorated with the Hogwart's Crest and all four colors representing the four houses are used to decorate the walls and furniture of the common room. Due to the intense rivalry and hatred among the four houses however, the Group Common is rarely used. Professors are now considering making use of the Group Common mandatory.
