Living in private/rented accommodation
All you need to know about being a good neighbour, staying safe and the support available to you.
There's lots to consider when living off-campus in private/rented accommodation.
Firstly, your new neighbourhood will be made up of people with different lifestyles, so it's important to be a considerate neighbour. Then there are things you'll need to know such as when your bins are collected, how to recycle and what your responsibilities are, plus information on parking in the community, and how to get around Reading by bus and bicycle.
There's lots of support is available to you off-campus from your local police and council. You can also access all the learning and health support on campus.
We've covered each of the areas as best we can to get you started.
