A Home from Home

Our Residential Life Team is here to help you settle in and make the most of your university experience. Our team is trained to support your wellbeing and because our Residential Assistants and Coodinators are all either current students or recent graduates, they’ve all been in the same position as you.

Co-ordinators and Assistants provide support 24-hours a day, 7 days a week during term time.

You will meet your Residential Assistant or Residential Co-ordinator during the first week of Induction. They will hold regular “flat chats” in your house or hall to offer information and advice on a number of subjects, including: accessing support services, volunteering, sustainability, enhancing your employability, and Students’ Union campaigns. They also plan social events such as walks, film nights and quiz nights for each weekend of the first term to help you get to know other students.

This year, the Residential Life Team have also been working closely with our Covid Support Team, who have been busy looking after students who are isolating or need support during the pandemic. See page 19 for more details of our students’ experiences during lockdown.
