While studying, health care may not be your primary concern. Students living on-campus are covered for treatment at the local health centre. All students have to pay for ophthalmic and dental care on the National Health. All EU citizens, as well as non-EU citizens resident in the UK for more than six months, are entitled to receive accident and emergency hospital care free of charge. Some non-EU citizens may be charged for treatment of chronic conditions.
Full details are available in the Student Handbook.
The level of security at the Halls of Residence offers peace of mind to students and parents. A college representative is on duty at the front desk 24 hours a day and you will have keys to both the main door and your own room. Rooms are available as singles, doubles or triples. The Oliver rooms have similar security arrangements to Reid Hall with residents holding pass keys allowing full use of Reid Hall services. We recommend that first year students should try for accommodation in the Halls of Residence, as the friendships you make living with students from other countries are very much a part of the experience of international education.
