Halls catering covers 37 weeks and includes 12 healthy meals per week. Your meal plan includes:

• Light breakfast: Served Mon-Fri in hall dining rooms. 
• A weekly allowance of £27: Loaded onto your University card to spend on your lunchtime meal at different outlets across campus.
• Dinner: Served Mon-Fri in hall dining rooms.
• Weekend Brunch & Dinner: You can attend 2 meals included in the catering package and pay for additional meals over the weekend.

Most of our catered halls and rooms don't have a fridge in the room, but you can bring one if they meet the following criteria:

• The fridge must be 45 litres or less.
• It must be new, with receipts to show this, or you must have an in-date PAT test if the fridge is more than a year old.
• Must be declared on the electrical inventory form.
• Must be removed from the room at the end of your contract.
• Must be kept clean and maintained. You will be liable for any damage to the room caused by leaks, etc.
• If the fridge is not working/broken, it's your responsibility to fix/dispose of it.
• Returning students can have their fridge PAT tested rather than purchase a new one.

TVs are provided in common rooms, but not in individual rooms, so you are more than welcome to bring your own. However, you must pay for a separate TV licence if you watch live TV or BBC iPlayer.

This will also apply if you are watching any live TV on other devices, including laptops and tablets.
