Can I change my room after I move in if I don't like it?

Yes you can, but we can only offer this if there is still space available and you have a valid reason. Please bear in mind that different rooms are offered at different prices and it may be that you have to pay a different rate to occupy a different room. The rates are based on a number of things, e.g. size of the room, location in the building and availability.

Are there monthly events or activities planned for residents? We organise a full monthly calendar of social parties, career events and learning workshops for all residents.

Is there extra storage space onsite?

Yes, we have storage cells on site. The cost for this is 30 a month.

Can I share a room with my friend who is also a full time student?

Stay at home if you have either: a high temperature you feel hot to touch on your chest or back a new, continuous cough this means youve started coughing repeatedly Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital. You do not need to contact 111 to tell them youre staying at home. Testing for coronavirus is not needed if youre staying at home.

We can provide you with the advice and the support you will require during this time.

How long to stay at home?

If you have symptoms, stay at home for 7 days If you live with other people, they should stay at home for 14 days from the day the first person got symptoms If you have to stay at home together, try to keep away from each other as much as possible.

It is perfectly understandable that you might be anxious or worried about coronavirus and the impact it could have on your life, particularly because this might include being asked to stay at home or to avoid other people.

WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF CORONAVIRUS SPREADING IN THE RESIDENCE?

We will also ensure all residents are given the appropriate information and advice to manage the risks.
