Management does not accept parental responsibility for occupiers under the age of 18.

They require that all tenants living at one of their properties in England and Wales to be over the age of 17 during the academic year booked to live at management, and tenants living in their Scottish properties to be age 16 or over.

If you want to bring a TV at The Podium, check that your room has a TV point and don’t bring one larger than 21”. You can’t mount your TV on the wall, so make sure it’s free-standing. While all TVs provided by management in communal areas accessed by all residents are covered by a TV Licence, you will need to buy your own licence if you bring your own TV or if there is one already in your room or shared kitchen & living area.

I chose Podium for my second year of university at Royal Holloway, and I can honestly say that it has exceeded my expectations, thanks to Amber's recommendation. The rooms are spacious, the laundry rooms are easily accessible, there is a gym, and a wonderful common room with a ping pong/pool table, and whether you live in an ensuite or a studio, the kitchens have everything you need.
