As an organisation that houses 6000 students, we inevitably have a significant environmental impact, through energy and resource use and waste generated.

The University has signed up to the national 10:10 campaign, which aims to cut our carbon emissions by 10% in 2010. Your behavior in university accommodation is key to us achieving this ambition, so here are some useful links to help you, help us
