Residence Life Team

Our residence life team can offer help and advice

If you're experiencing the ups and downs of university life, independent living or sharing a hall or house with other students, the residence life team can offer help and advice.

Our Res Life Assistants are returning students who help first year students living in halls and private accommodation with issues like health concerns, homesickness, issues with flatmates, noisy neighbours and general wellbeing.

Get support in halls

We're available:

  • Monday to Thursday, 11.30am to 8.00pm
  • Friday, 12.00pm to 8.00pm

24/7 out of hours welfare support is available by calling the University Security Lodge 023 92 84 3418 and asking for Res Life.

How to contact us

Daytime appointments

Evening drop-ins

We host regular drop-ins for general advice in Halls reception areas, on weekdays between 6.00pm and 9.00pm. Look out for our posters around your building and on our social pages.

Events and socials

Our year-round programme of events are centred around community building, social, wellbeing and skills. We aim to make sure all students feel welcome, comfortable and safe. But most importantly, we want you to have fun while living here in Portsmouth!

You'll be able to make friends, get to know your halls neighbours better and most importantly have fun while living away from home.

Join film, quiz and games nights, arts and crafts events, mindfulness events, city tours, pet therapy events and so much more! Our events take place in halls common rooms, across campus and around the city. All first year students are welcome to join our events – no matter what hall it is hosted in.

To find out more about what's going on, check out our social pages on linktr.ee/uopreslife, and look out on the noticeboards, digital screens, and social pages for your hall.

If you've got any questions, please speak to a member of our residence life team or email the team at res.life@port.ac.uk.
