Facilities
To help with day-to-day living, the main Stag Hill Campus has a laundrette, post office, bank, bookshop, convenience stores, and a health centre / GP practice. There is a large supermarket nearby, and a halal grocery store and a Chinese / Polish store in the town centre. The Students' Union also has an international food shop and holds a very popular weekly fruit-and-vegetable market.
All Courts of Residence have a warden service, making you feel safe and secure. Court Life Mentors are also on hand to assist you.
