Student wellbeing
Because we are part of the University, resident wellbeing is our number one priority. The staff team have strong links with student services at the University and can offer help, advice and reassurance. There is also a 24hr contact number for residents and round-the-clock security
Free social events and activities
Unlike private halls in Derby, University halls organise a Residence Life programme of mostly free activities and events with opportunities to try new hobbies, make friends and settle in. Events take place across all our halls, opening up a wide community to all our residents. Popular activities include free sports tournaments, quizzes, cookery classes and yoga classes.
