<\/p>\nMoving away from home for the first time, away from your home comforts, can be daunting for some students. However, we\u2019re here to make sure you have an enjoyable university experience; we want to put your mind at ease with any concerns you may have.<\/p>\n
At Host, you\u2019ll find an on-site management team on-hand to help with any queries or issues you may have; and to help keep the site safe and secure. Combined with electronic door entry systems, intercoms and CCTV, we aim to ensure that everyone who lives with us enjoys a high standard of security and the safest possible environment 24\/7.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s important to remember, our security is only as good as the residents who live with us. So, please ensure that you follow some simple steps to improve the level of security at your accommodation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t make it easy for someone to get into your room. Be sure to always close windows and lock doors when you head out, especially if your room is on the ground floor or you have a balcony.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t leave any money or valuable items such as mobile phones or laptops on display when you\u2019re not in your room\/flat. Keep them hidden and safe. Having a clear room with valuables well hidden will reduce the likelihood of things being stolen as potential thieves will struggle to find anything of value.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
To prevent anyone from being in the building and rooms that shouldn\u2019t be, it\u2019s important that you keep your keys and access fob\/swipe card on your person at all times and don\u2019t lend them to anyone else. If you lose your keys or fob\/swipe card, you should report it to reception as soon as possible. This way, access can be cancelled, and a replacement can be issued.<\/p>\n

Bringing a bike to uni? Minimise the risk of it being stolen by keeping it safely and securely locked in the designated bicycle storage area at your accommodation with a quality lock.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re entering and leaving your accommodation building, be aware of who is behind and around you. Don\u2019t allow for anyone you don\u2019t know to follow you into the building, flat or room.<\/p>\n
