As a resident in UCL halls, you can join in weekly activities and events organised in your hall, as part of Flourish, our residential life programme. In UCL Halls, we have Student Residence Advisers (SRAs), who are there to provide pastoral support, signpost residents to UCL support services, and help students settle into university life.

In UCL Halls, you will get access to:

• Home away from home​
