Welcome to<br />
<strong>333</strong> <strong>Bath</strong> <strong>Street</strong><br />
Glasgow<br />
Here’s your new address<br />
<strong>333</strong> <strong>Bath</strong> <strong>Street</strong><br />
Glasgow<br />
G2 4ER<br />
New room. New home.<br />
New city to explore.<br />
You’re right next to everything. Your university for lectures<br />
and libraries. The city for shops and bars. And all your<br />
fellow students. Where you live at university makes all<br />
the difference. The perfect home is where you’ll achieve<br />
academic success, form lifelong friendships – and bloom.<br />
That’s where we come in.<br />
We’re here when you want us and in the background when<br />
you don’t. We’ll keep you up to date with all the latest<br />
news, competitions and events on our Facebook, Twitter<br />
and Instagram pages. It’s completely up to you how much<br />
or how little you want to get involved.<br />
MOVING IN<br />
You’ll find your check in date on the front page of your<br />
tenancy document. It’s under ‘start date’. You can arrive<br />
on your check in date, or any day after that. Arriving on<br />
the day? We’ll give you a time slot to help you avoid traffic.<br />
Drivers: we recommend checking out the area beforehand<br />
and making sure you know where to park. Coming in by<br />
train or plane? Book your taxi in advance. Our staff will<br />
be here to help you - giving you your keys, showing you<br />
around, and telling you about your new home.
Your room is your space –<br />
to relax, to unwind, to be<br />
you. So hang up your jacket.<br />
Choose a drawer for your<br />
socks. Make it feel like home.<br />
INTERNET<br />

problems contact customer support on 0<strong>333</strong> 123 0115 and<br />

Cook safe. No chip pans or deep fat fryers. And keep it clean. If<br />
things get too messy, we’ll have to charge for a cleaner.<br />
TV<br />
There’s a TV in your room – but no licence. If you want one,<br />
you’ll need to purchase one, either at tvlicensing.co.uk<br />

rubbish and recycling bins in the bin store situated in the<br />

See your tenancy agreement for a full list of charges.<br />
Your safety and security<br />
is our number one<br />
priority. We’ve got it<br />
covered – but you can<br />
help us by following a<br />
few safety tips.<br />
FIRST AID<br />
If you have an accident, please report it to your accommodation<br />
team. There’s a first aid box in the office for minor accidents.<br />
IN CASE OF FIRE<br />
Your room is fitted with a smoke detector. So are kitchens and<br />
corridors. Don’t tamper with them. When a fire alarm goes off, never<br />
assume it’s just a drill. Make sure you know your nearest exit, and<br />
know how to leave the building safely. Your designated assembly<br />
point is Elmbank Gardens.<br />
DOORS AND WINDOWS<br />
We ask that you keep doors closed at all times and lock your door<br />
and windows when you’re going out. Fire doors are there to protect<br />
you and when closed they will stop the spread of fire, so please<br />
don’t prop your door open. Windows will only tilt outwards and for<br />
your own safety, should not be opened fully.<br />
SAFE AND SOUND<br />
If you’re worried about the safety of any of the equipment in your<br />
room or the communal areas or you see any suspicious behaviour,<br />
please inform your accommodation team.
If you’re not feeling<br />
yourself, talk to someone.<br />
Whoever you are.<br />
Whatever it is. However,<br />
you feel. We’re here.<br />
FEELING ILL?<br />
See the doctor. If you’ve registered with the University Health<br />
Centre, you’ll usually get a same day appointment. Call them on<br />
0141 342 3600.<br />
FEELING LOW?<br />
Talk to Student Minds studentminds.org uk. Or grab your<br />
accommodation team, they’re here to support you.<br />
PROBLEMS WITH A FLATMATE?<br />

your accommodation team.<br />

Moving Out<br />
You’ll have to move out by the end of your tenancy – you<br />
can see when that is on your tenancy document. If you<br />
want to move out earlier, you can arrange that with your<br />
accommodation team. At the end of the academic year,<br />
we’ll let you know when you’ll be expected to move out<br />
and exactly what you’ll need to do. Before you go, your<br />
accommodation team will make an appointment to<br />
inspect your room – making sure it hasn’t been damaged<br />
or dirtied.<br />
