Arriving out of hours?

Your Welcome Talk
Once you have arrived in hall, you must attend a Welcome Talk. Talks will be held in the Palmer Building, G10.
The Welcome Talk provides an opportunity to learn about your Warden and Halls Team and you will be provided with essential information about living in halls and keeping safe.
You MUST attend one of the Welcome Talks and we do record attendance to ensure all residents have received a talk.
