Moving in is a huge part of starting university. Everyone’s experience is different, and every move-in story is special.
We know that, before arriving, it can feel a little nerve-wracking not knowing exactly what to expect. Based on feedback from students, we want to make the move-in experience feel clearer, more familiar and less daunting for future students.
That’s where you come in.
You may have seen us filming at Central Village and Charles Morris Hall on Saturday 19 September!
We’re looking for students to share their move-in experience on camera as part of a new, informative and reassuring film showcasing what it’s really like to move into University accommodation.
The finished video will be used across a variety of University channels in the run-up to Welcome in future years, helping new students feel more prepared and confident about their own move-in day.
