When you arrive
Our accommodation team will be waiting to greet you. If you arrive after reception opening hours, a member of our security team will be available to greet you.
They will give you your keys, access card and welcome pack.
Our staff will give directions to your accommodation and help you find it if needed.
Bedding and linen
Bedding and linen are not supplied in your accommodation. Before you arrive, you'll need to decide if you are going to:
- bring your own bedding and/or linen
- buy bedding and/or linen from our online store
After you move in
Once you have settled into your new accommodation, you need to attend your induction sessions.
Accommodation induction
This is a compulsory session held in the first few days after you arrive, part of your pre-sessional induction timetable.
Kitchen group talks
There are talks held in your kitchen from our accommodation team.
It’s important to attend these as they are specific to your accommodation. You’ll hear what do whilst living here and how to stay safe.
The times for your talk are advertised on your kitchen noticeboard.
Swapping rooms
If you want to swap bedrooms with another student, you must contact the ResLife team on reslife@bath.ac.uk who can tell you if this is possible. You must not swap rooms without telling us you are doing so.
Staying visitors
One visitor can stay in your accommodation for a maximum of three nights. To arrange this, you will need to complete The Student Guest Log form with name of your guest and the dates of their stay.
If you have more than one visitor or they would like to stay longer, they can book into our guest accommodation, available from June to September.
