What to bring

Most of the study rooms are quite generous in size, with hanging space for clothes and some drawers and shelves. Your room will have a wash basin or an en-suite shower room, plus a desk or work area, a chair and waste bin. You will need to bring your own bedding, towels and toiletries, plus your clothes, which should include a 'smart' outfit for dining-in events (Lounge suit or shirt/tie/smart trousers or a smart evening dress).

You can bring a lamp and soft furnishings (excluding curtains) for your room. Any electrical items must be brand new or have a test certificate from a qualified electrician with them.

Heating appliances and cooking equipment (such as slow cookers, rice cookers, microwaves and kettles) are strictly prohibited in study rooms - see your accommodation contract for more information.

For the kitchen, you should bring your own crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment plus dish cloths, tea towels and detergents.

For washing clothes and bedding, there is a card-operated laundrette at each campus, which you can top up online at anytime - all you need to take is your own washing powder and fabric conditioner.

You can bring a TV, but you will be responsible for purchasing your own TV license - please note that there is no aerial socket in the study rooms. There are communal TVs in the common rooms of most halls.

All rooms have internet access.

Payment plan

The Finance Office will contact you before you move into your halls in order for you to make payment or set up a payment plan.
