Lakeside isnt really guantanamo bay to be honest,

The keycard provided lets you in an out of the main compound and then into your individual block. You also get a key to get into your individual flat. You need the card to get out of the main compound. Obviously, due to lakeside being the largest individual residence, theres a large flow of people usually leaving and entering, so during the day and evening you wouldnt really need to wait long before someone with a keycard simply opens the gate and you go through.

If you live their, a keycard is essential, if not, you can always either wait, or ring a friend and get them to let you in.

Officially, you need to sign all guests in (for fire preoceedure purposes) and they are only allowed to stay for a maximum of two nights at a time. However, you could hide someone in your room for the entire year, no one checks. :smile:
