Your student accommodation

Each self-catered halls kitchen is supplied with:

• Microwave
• Fridge freezer
• Toaster
• Kettle
• Cooker with oven/grill incorporated (gas or electric)

Each resident has kitchen storage space allocated to them. Where cupboards are lockable, the key will be supplied with your room key on arrival. There may be additional space to store pots, pans and other utensils. A fridge/freezer is available to store food and an agreement should be made between residents as to how this space is shared.

If you find you are missing any equipment in your kitchen, please contact your Hall Reception. Instructions for all of the equipment can be found in your kitchen. Only British rice cookers are allowed to be used in kitchens and they must conform to European Standards and display the CE mark on the cable or plug.

No cooking equipment is allowed in the study rooms, or bedrooms, this includes coffee machines and mini fridges (unless supplied by the University for medical reasons).

• En-suite toilets use dual flush systems to help save water.
  
  
• Hot water is supplied from a storage tank designed to meet normal demand, so please be considerate - long showers use more hot water.
  
  
• Help us save water by turning off taps and showers when not in use, and use a shower timer if provided.

• Heating is supplied by a central boiler with set schedules (normally October–April, weather dependent). It activates when temperatures drop below 18°C.
• Before reporting issues, check that your radiator valve is open and consider if the room temperature is below 18°C. Let your Hall Manager know if the problem affects a wider area.
• Please don’t use personal heaters - your Hall Manager can provide one if needed. To save energy, keep windows closed when radiators are on.
• Radiators can be adjusted using the thermostatic valve (where fitted). If you’re still too cold, speak to your Hall Manager.

Kitchens are fitted with extraction units to remove steam and cooking odours.
En-suite bathrooms have extractor fans linked to the light switch (continuous in UPP halls), and shared bathrooms use automatic ventilation.

Each catered kitchen/kitchenette is supplied with:

• Microwave and/or microwave Oven Combi
• Larder fridge
• Hob
• Induction Hob (supplied only in halls that are catered for 5 days a week). The only pans to be used on the induction hob are the ones supplied in your kitchen when you arrive.
• Toaster
