When will I have to leave?

Our rooms are term time only. You'll be asked to leave your room for the Christmas holiday periods. It is important to note that when you vacate, your room must be cleared of all belongings.

Self-study weeks

Self-study weeks take the place of college half-terms in October and February. We encourage students to go home for these periods to enable them to rest and recuperate away from the college environment. However, you have the flexibility to choose when you leave for the holiday period.

The same applies for the return date, students can return to accommodation at a time to suit them. Students will be able to leave their belongings in their rooms during study week.
