Sharing this information helps us understand any support or reasonable adjustments you may require, so we can work with you to provide the best possible residential experience.

We'll also ask about your interests, hobbies, lifestyle and living preferences. This information helps us get to know you better, supports the creation of positive residential communities and assists us, where possible, to allocate accommodation that best matches your preferences.
