Support in halls

Within all of our halls of residence, we feel that looking after our student's safety and well-being is a crucial part of a positive student experience. Student welfare within the halls are the responsibility of our Hall Wardens, assisted by Residential Advisers.

Wardens

Wardens are all senior members of staff who live in our halls of residence, ensuring that students get the support and assistance they need throughout their time in University accommodation.

The team are there to help you with any personal problems and aim to assist students by being pastoral leaders. You will usually meet with your Warden at welcome events during the first few days of term. It's very important that you attend these events as there will be information specific to your hall of residence. Our Wardens and their Residential Adviser teams rely on your help and consideration to maintain a community and environment in which all residents can study, sleep, relax and enjoy themselves safely.

Residential advisers

Upon arrival to halls, our Residential Advisers make themselves known to all students and establish an approachable point of contact for enquiries made out of normal office hours. As well as providing pastoral support to our residents, Residential Advisers also work with the Halls Life team to help create events and activities throughout the year to ensure there is always something for you to get involved with.

Each Duty Residential Adviser has a dedicated phone number that you can call at anytime for support. the number can be found in your Welcome Handbook, posters in your kitchen and lift lobbies as well as reception.
