Starting your university adventure by moving into halls can be exciting but it can also be daunting.
To make things easier our brilliant halls team have outlined everything you need to know about moving into halls:
-
Your postal address
If you’re wondering what your new address is going to be you can find a list of all our halls and the official postal addresses on our halls life webpages.
-
Understanding your room number
Once you’ve received your room number you’ll want to know how to find it when you arrive. There are some simple steps to follow for each hall to understand which floor you are on and where your room is. Check out the details on our halls life webpages.
-
What to pack?
To help you prepare we’ve pulled together an overview of what you can expect from your room. You should also receive a full list of what’s in your room when you complete your online induction.
It’s tempting to buy a lot of things before you arrive but it’s best to focus on the essentials and decide what else you need once you have arrived. To help with your packing our halls team have pulled together a helpful guide of the things you will need to begin with.
