Students are responsible for keeping their own rooms clean and tidy. A bin is provided in each room and a hoover can be found in the kitchen. Inspections are carried out throughout the academic year to ensure rooms are not being damaged.

Students should work together to keep shared areas, such as kitchens, free from mess and trip hazards. You will need to wash up your own dishes and wipe down surfaces after cooking.

Cleaning staff visit throughout the week to carry out routine tasks in shared spaces, such as emptying bins, mopping floors, or cleaning shared bathrooms.

The University Quays laundry facilities are located in Hawkins Quay House 1. Facilities consist of washing machines and tumble driers. You will need to provide your own detergent (which can be purchased in the SU shop on campus).

There is a medical centre at Colchester Campus for you to visit when you are unwell. Registration at the Centre is required in order to see a doctor, you will be able to register online either just before or when you arrive.

Pharmacies are available in Hythe for prescriptions and over the counter medications.
