Now is the time you can start getting things together to turn your room into your home your place to study, socialise, relax and have fun.

Before you arrive
Before you move in to your new accommodation, you will need to complete a few tasks. You should:
- Complete your online induction through the Accommodation hub. This includes an induction video and fire safety introduction, and will help you get to know your accommodation.
- Book an arrival time slot through our online system. Bookings will open in summer and you will receive more information by email.
You can follow us on social media to stay up to date with important information:
You will also be able to join official Facebook groups for your accommodation site over the summer. For data protection reasons we can't share the details of who you will be living with, but you may be able to find some of your flatmates in these social media groups.
