Junior Common Room - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (466 words)
The term Junior Common Room (JCR) is used in many British universities to refer to the collective of students (similar to a students' union) at a constituent college of the university, as well as to a physical room set aside for the college students' use.
The Junior Common Room stands in contrast to the Middle Common Room, referring to postgraduates doing masters, PGCEs and PhDs, and the Senior Common Room, which refers to the collection of faculty, instructors, and advisors at the college.
The concept of the JCR is hinted at also in the Harry Potter books and films as each of the four halls of the school has its own common room, modeled on the JCR.
