Kitchens
Each house is equipped with a kitchen space which includes basic appliances to refrigerate perishable foods and prepare hot drinks and snacks. Some houses have full cooking facilities which you are welcome to use, as long as you clean up after yourself. Please wash, dry and properly store all dishes used, whether personal or communal. Dishes left on benches may be confiscated if they impede the ability of the cleaning team to sanitise benchtops.
Everyone has a responsibility to clean and look after shared spaces – consideration is an essential part of communal living.
Bathrooms
The ratio of bathrooms to students in each house is approximately 1:5, meaning you will never have to wait long to have a shower in the morning. All toilets and showers are located in individual units to ensure your privacy. Bathrooms are cleaned daily by our fantastic team of cleaners.
Laundries
All Houses have a laundry facility attached, which are free for residents to use.
Please note: You must supply your own detergent and basket. (Please do not purchase laundry detergent until you arrive and find out the specifics of the machines for your area.)
