Student life in halls

Living on campus means becoming part of a welcoming hall community, where you’ll enjoy a safe, secure, and supportive environment.

We are dedicated to creating the best possible experience for each of you during your time in halls, helping you feel safe and supported throughout your time here.

There are a number of resources available to support you within your hall community.

Hall management team

Each Hall has a dedicated Hall management team (available Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm) who are there for any day-to-day enquiries, suggestions or concerns regarding your hall and flatmates. The Hall management team:

  • co-ordinate day to day cleaning and maintenance in your room/flat;
  • ensures your health, safety and security;
  • work closely with the Warden and hall committee to provide a seamless 24-hour support service.

Warden team

Each University hall has a dedicated team of Wardens and Sub-wardens who work to create a supportive and enjoyable environment for all residents.

If you experience any problems - whether related to life in halls or other aspects of student life - you're encouraged to reach out to your Warden or Sub-warden. They’ll either help you directly or point you in the right direction for further support.

All conversations will be treated confidentially.

Hall events and social activities

In each hall there are numerous fun activities organised for you throughout the year. The biggest of these activities are during fresher’s fortnight, where you will gain entry to events such as mini golf, big nights out and punch parties.

There are also activities throughout the year such as the Winter and Summer balls, the hall sport (IMS) programme and refreshers week.

Eating on campus

We provide a complete range of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner with a variety of choices for health options and home cooked food across our seven catered dining halls on campus. If you choose a catered hall, this is included in your rental fees. If you choose a self-catered hall, you can still eat in our dining halls using a Hall Meal Saver card.
