Our communities: Giving the gift of peace this holiday period

Christmas lights

Cities and students go together like peas in a pod. We are proud of what you bring to #TeamLivUni whether that is in Liverpool or any of our other campuses or partner universities.

Whether you are new at university this year and staying in halls, or you are a veteran student and have ventured out to live in our local community, you have a responsibility to help us to maintain positive relationships with our neighbours and the wider community.

Respecting your community

Cities are home to diverse communities of people. This brings with it many benefits and the vast majority of our student community place a great deal of value on being able to experience this aspect of university life.

It is important, therefore, that we respect and protect this. Anti-social behaviour – whether it be noise, litter or inappropriate behaviour – can cause major issues for local residents, which in turn impact on your overall experience as a student in our city – one which you now call home.

It’s great being with friends but please remember that houses or flats with multiple occupants can easily cause disturbance to neighbours, especially if you are planning a celebration at home for the evening or are gathering with friends before or after going out.

Consider that you may have a family with young children nearby, an elderly couple or people trying to work from home. Noise disturbance or anti-social behaviour can lead to a great deal of stress for those around you, so please try to think of others.

Conduct and discipline

Remember that as a student you need to adhere to our Policy on Student Conduct and Discipline.

If you’re not familiar with the policy, make sure you take a look and read the document, as it outlines how we expect you to behave both on and off campus as a student at the University. It is important that you pay particular attention to Appendix I, which highlights what we consider to be non-academic misconduct.

Enjoy the holiday season!
