Heating

1. Central heating is operated from a central point in the accommodation. Students who are not used to a cold climate may find it very difficult to live in accommodation which is not centrally heated.

2. Self-catering accommodation.

Timing and level of heating should be agreed with others living there. To be healthy, some heat is required but excessive heating will lead to excessive fuel bills.

3. Heating is usually switched off at night.

4. Free-standing heaters are not permitted inUniversity-owned accommodation for safety reasons.
