Resident support
Your wellbeing matters — and you’re never alone in navigating uni life. Our Residential Life (Res Life) team is your friendly, approachable first point of contact when challenges arise. Whether you're facing mental health concerns, academic stress, or personal struggles, we’re here to listen, check in, and connect you with the right university support services. While we don’t provide direct counselling, we’ll help guide you to where you need to go.
But support goes beyond serious stuff, too. The Res Life team is here to make your time with us as enjoyable and stress-free as possible — through engaging events, practical workshops, and by fostering a safe, respectful community where everyone feels at home.
If you’re having issues with housemates — whether it’s noise, cleaning, or other conflicts — and talking things through hasn’t helped, our management team can step in to mediate and help find a positive resolution.
You’re never just a resident — you’re part of a community that’s here to support you.
