Student Helpdesk

Every resident has the right to fully enjoy their time here. Help us achieve this by:

• Everyone has different timetables for both study, sporting activity and leisure time, be respectful by keeping the noise levels low
• Everyone has different tolerances including different types of humour and what they feel are acceptable levels of behaviour and standards, be mindful of this and respect personal space and keep communal spaces clean
• Respect all staff and listen to their instructions. Filming of staff conducting their duties is not acceptable and may result in disciplinary action.
• If you are experiencing difficulties with other people you are living with, you could first try talking to them and attempt to work together to resolve it. Sometimes this may seem difficult but often a simple conversation can go a long way to solving compatibility issues.
• If you find you are unable to resolve the situation, seek advice and help from the Accommodation Team as soon as possible who will work with to find a solution.

The Accommodation Service does not accept any responsibility for loss or damage to any items of clothing whilst using the washing and drying machines. Ironing facilities are available for use in the laundry room. You are not permitted to iron in your bedroom, but if you do bring your own iron, you may use it in the kitchen in your flat.

You are encouraged to make use of the grounds, however, please be considerate of other residents by keeping noise to a minimum and don’t play music outside. Students causing noise disturbances will be asked to return to their flat. Ball games are not allowed due to the lack of space, parked cars, windows, and busy main roads.
