a dark stone passageway leads to a padlocked wooden door with a bloodstained sign nailed to it, reading: STAFF ONLY. BEWARE!

anyone who's anyone has a cell phone at brownlow.

the ultimate social networking site. go ahead, make a page! express yourself.

don't worry - at brownlow academy, school is anything but boring.

this is where the professors gather between classes to socialise, drink coffee and plan their next lesson.

the headmaster is always willing to speak with students. don't try to sneak in, however - his office is guarded with motion detectors, laser beams and more.

there are separate dorms for each grade and each gender. don't try to sneak into someone's dorm without permission - there's more than just cctv guarding them.

the front doors lead straight into the entrance hall. modern and spotlessly clean, this is where most school events are held.

everyone has to eat sometime, right? the canteen offers a choice of foods at breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as snacks in between.

when you lock a bunch of teenagers up together, someone's bound to get hurt. especially if those teenagers are all extensively trained in five different martial arts.

students come here to relax in the sofas and armchairs, do homework and hang out with friends.

who doesn't love music? it's also a very important part of fitting into different cultures and taking on different roles.

every good spy needs to be ready to fight whenever danger arises. the school dojo has pads, mats and dummies to practise with, so there's no excuse to not train.

technology is a part of every spy's life. come here to hone your skills - extra credit if you manage to crack any government codes!

the library has thousands of books on poisons, fighting tactics and the different types of microcameras. oh, and fiction.

students aren't technically allowed in classrooms when there's no teacher around, but that doesn't stop them. use these rooms for anything you like.

long, winding and full of hidden cameras, the corridors lead all over the school. careful not to get lost!

because even spies need to pee. there are also shower cubicles and free shampoo.

students aren't really allowed on the roof, but since when did rules matter? it's a great place to relax and breathe in the fresh air. well, as fresh as you can get four storeys up in new york city.

make sure you fit in at least an hour of exercise every day. the gym has everything from weights to treadmills to spin cycles. remember, an unfit spy is a dead spy.

the school pool is massive, with a mini waterfall, pool floats and diving boards. it's solar heated and very relaxing, but smells strongly of chlorine.

the sports hall is basically a few huge courts with lines painted on them. it can be used for basketball and netball, and has a removable net to play volleyball or tennis. you can even put up goals and play football. the store cupboard has all the equipment you need.

what's the point of living in the big apple if you can't go out and see it?

an area of flat, paved land surrounded by a picket fence, the courtyard has benches, flowerbeds, even a tyre swing.

okay, so it's just a few weeping willow trees with a bench underneath. but grove sounds cooler.

when the students at your school could decide the future of the country, you get a few bonuses. like a field in the middle of new york. it's only small, but still.

the lake is right on the edge of the grounds, small but a great place to relax and swim. it's colder than the pool, but the water's much fresher.

what's your favourite song? who did you meet today? how long is your little toe? kick back, relax. anything goes.

think of this forum as the cake you want so badly, the greener grass on the other side, the holiday you wish you were on... you get the idea.
