Accommodation Walkarounds

If you live on campus, you may also see Emma and Jeremiah out and about in the Furness accommodation throughout the year.

They usually carry out accommodation walkarounds on Mondays between 12:30 pm and 4:00 pm. These visits are primarily to monitor for any health and safety issues, but Emma and Jeremiah are also approachable and happy to chat.

If you see them around, feel free to stop and say hello, ask a question about college life or your accommodation, or even invite them for a cup of tea or coffee!

We ask that you are understanding of their presence while they carry out these walkarounds.

What Do Community Assistants Do?

They are also keen to hear from you, so if you have any suggestions, ideas, or feedback, please let them know.
