Sir William residences are all on campus at the University site. There are up to 200 comfortable residential beds in good-sized modern rooms. Rooms are usually twins, but some single rooms are available. Bathrooms and showers are shared.
Studio staff live in the residences, providing 24-hour care. The staff-to-student ratio is approximately 1:10 and the wardens are never far away if you have any questions or need help. They will also organise activities for you every evening.
Meals
All meals are provided in the dining room at the University. There is a wide choice of hot and cold food and a vegetarian option for every meal. Packed lunches are provided on excursion days. At bedtimes, there is also a late snack (hot and cold milk drink, soft drinks, cookies and cake).
Evenings
Each evening students on the Sir William Plus programme will have activities organised for them by the Studio wardens. Students may not go off campus in the evenings without Studio staff and must be in their residence by 23:00 at the latest. Students who fail to follow this rule will be spoken to by the wardens. This is an important rule for us and failing to comply is considered serious misconduct and action will be taken.
Your free time
There are activites, classes or excursions every day and evening on this course and therefore, there is very little free time for students on the Sir William Plus programme. However, there will be plenty of opportunities to walk into the town centre as part of the social programme. There are always things to do in Richmond and the Studio wardens are there to help and supervise in case of problems. Common rooms are also available in the residences.
Laundry
Laundry facilities are available on site. Students are required to do their own clothes laundry. One wash per week may be done free of charge. Bed linen is provided at the residence and will be changed and washed once each week.
Keys
Students will be given keys to their room and to the entrance to the residences. A small deposit of £10 will be taken when the keys are issued, in case the keys are lost.
