Change to Room Types for 2008/2009

With effect from the beginning of the 2008/2009 academic session, the room types we use are being reclassified. The information on this website and in the 2008/2009 A Place To Live brochure reflects this change. Because of this, If you are a current resident or are using an earlier version of the A Place To Live brochure, you may not find information on the room types you were expecting.

The table below explains the changes that have been made, and will show you how the rooms are now classified. This should help you to find the information you need.
