The National Student Housing Survey is now live! This is your chance to let us know your first impressions of your halls, how your moving in experience was and how you’re settling in.

We know you get asked to take part in lots of surveys when you’re a student, but there’s one survey that you really do need to take part in, the National Student Housing Survey. This is your chance to really influence and improve your accommodation.

Here at Derwent Students we use the results and findings of this survey to put in place future plans for new facilities, services and new ways of doing things so your input really does have an effect.

How? The results from past surveys have let to better Wi-Fi in our halls, more student events, improved communal spaces and upgraded laundry facilities  and all because our students told us these were important to them.

It’s easy to have your say, the survey only takes about 12 minutes to complete, it’s confidential and secure.
