Living with Student Housemates

This guide has been written by our Student Housing Office and Student Casework Team, to provide helpful information and advice for any student, who decides to live with others whilst at university. It covers matters from choosing who to live with, to what to do when things go wrong. Ideally, it should be read by anyone moving into, or planning on moving into shared accommodation.
