Residence Life - University of Leicester

Here’s our simple guide to how you can easily become more eco-friendly in your daily life!! These things don’t take much time, but they each have an impact on the environment. Attempting to be perfect is not the point.
There will be things we do that could be adjusted to make it better for the environment, but life happens, and that’s okay. Doing these things, even every so often, is better than never. We encourage all of our lovely residents to participate in eco-friendly practices whenever you can.

Together we will all have an impact 💚

Remember, before you leave your room you need to take your key with you! Most of our doors shut automatically so once you exit and it closes, you’ll need to let our reception team know to let you in 😅🔑

Got a maintenance issue in your room? Our team can help!

Go to your kitchen and scan the maintenance QR code and fill out your room/ flat details and a description of the issue, so we know who needs to come to investigate🔧. This will come through to our team, and once the appropriate member has been allocated to the issue, they will come to have a look at what can be done 🧑‍🔧
