Residential Wellbeing

If you're a student living in halls, you can access a range of wellbeing support from your Residential Wellbeing Team.

We are here to make you feel welcome and help with the transition to university life. We provide wellbeing support plus community building and social opportunities to enrich your student experience.

We aim to create a safe, supportive and inclusive living environment for you, giving you the best chance to succeed at university. Our team is made up of both staff and student mentors.

The Residential Wellbeing Team run a peer-to-peer project in university halls. Upper year students called Student Residential Advisors (SRAs) live and work in the accommodation and provide support to new residents. The aim of the scheme is to create a friendly, positive and inclusive environment for all students.

We know that it may be easier to talk to a fellow student than a member of staff, so each flat is assigned an SRA. Your SRA will check in with you regularly throughout the year to say hello. They are there to help you settle into your accommodation and life at the university, and to serve as a resource for all sorts of issues.

The SRAs organise and deliver social events where there is an opportunity for you to build genuine friendships and have fun. We hope that you will experience a real sense of belonging and that you will quickly feel at home.

Speak to a Student Residential Adviser

Student Residential Advisers (SRAs) are senior students who live and work in the halls. They provide student-to-student support and regularly to see if you are okay. They provide information and advice, and let you know about any social activities they are organising in halls.

SRAs work on a call-out and rota basis and are available to respond to more minor incidents overnight, for example if you are feeling homesick or lonely.

SRAs also help to organise and deliver social activities, creating opportunities for you to meet other students, develop a sense of belonging, and have fun.

The great thing about the SRA team is that since we are all students studying a wide range of subjects and from different backgrounds, you will be able to find someone you can relate to.
