community life in the university residences

All living areas will be shared with students from all over the world, giving you the opportunity to make new friends from many diverse cultures. It will be an experience in learning how to live with others but in the knowledge that you have your own space in your bedroom for those times when you want privacy.

There is a Residents’ Support Network designed to create a positive environment in which students in University accommodation can live and learn successfully. The RSN Residents’ Assistants will meet you early on in your stay with us to introduce you to university life and will be organizing activities for you and the other students living in their ‘patch’ of accommodation.
