social opportunities and communal living
supported by good pastoral care is crucial.

MAINTENANCE

                                               5.   If you break something in your residence
                                                    you will need to pay for its repair.

                                               6.   Some repair jobs will be completed by
                                                    Halls staff but others will be passed
                                                    on to contractors to complete. This
                                                    is so that all repairs are carried out
                                                    by appropriately qualified staff.

                                               7.   The University will deal with faults on a
                                                    priority basis and will carry out repairs
                                                    as soon as reasonably practicable. The
                                                    repair time will range from one hour to
                                                    4 weeks depending on how urgent it is.
