Residence Life

Moving into University-managed halls of residence is the beginning of something very exciting. You'll become part of a much bigger, supportive, fun and vibrant community of like-minded people. However, starting at university can mean living independently for the first time, which can feel very daunting.

To help you settle in, we've put together an exclusive Residence Life events programme for students who are living in University-managed accommodation. We provide a wide range of free events, day trips, competitions and giveaways to help you meet new people, explore your new home and try new things.

We aim to offer a range of events and activities to cater to everyone's taste and hobbies. Previous events have included sunset cruises, cinema trips, ghost tours, pottery painting, rock climbing, sea swimming, trips to the wider Devon and Cornwall area, sporting events, and more!

All events are hosted by our friendly Halls Team and led by our Hall Ambassadors. Check out our Residence Life events page or your exclusive halls of residence Facebook groups to find out more, and keep an eye on your inbox for our monthly ResLife newsletter!

Your Halls Handbook contains all the information you need while living in halls. It contains useful information about how to access support, emergency contact numbers, where to report maintenance issues and how to pay your accommodation fees.

The Halls Team are here to ensure that students make the most of their time in University-managed halls of residence, while feeling safe and supported.

If you have any questions or concerns while you're living with us, you can call us on the Duty Phone, message us on social media, or visit us at our weekly drop-in sessions at the Student Hub. Alternatively, if you would prefer to discuss more serious concerns, you can book a private meeting with our Hall Officers online via the Accommodation Portal.
