We pride ourselves on providing a safe and supportive environment for your son or daughter, and our teams are trained in first aid and mental health awareness, and actively encourage healthy lifestyles through our calendar of social events and activities.

How can I prepare my son/daughter for university?

Help your son/daughter pack for university with our easy packing checklist. This outlines all of the useful bits and bobs they will need to make their room feel like their home away from home. Rest assured that we provide complimentary contents insurance.​

We understand that your son/daughter may also feel nervous meeting new people, so we create a Facebook Group for each of our developments, so they can 'virtually' meet their new flatmates before arriving. We also provide regular events and updates on these groups throughout the academic year, helping to build the anticipation.​

I'm worried about my son/daughters wellbeing

Mental health and wellbeing is so important to us. Whilst living with us, your son/daughter will be surrounded with amazing opportunities and experiences that boost their wellbeing, personal network and life-skills. And we hope to make them feel energised, connected and inspired.

We also work with Dr Dominique Thompson from Buzz Consulting, she’s an expert in student mental health and works with us to improve our student’s wellbeing. Whilst we cannot provide counselling for students, we can refer them to a specialist for further support.
