We've created a specific set of FAQs for our students still in halls that you can read here. They go into more detail on how you can get support, including food delivered to you, who you can contact for help or with questions, dedicated support for care leavers, and what will happen about your halls fees in the coming months.
In the meantime, the importance of keeping social while keeping distanced, has not been forgotten. Fun and friendships are as an important a part of student life as your studies.
The Greenwich Students Union (GSU), residence life coordinators from Accommodation Services and other university departments are organising virtual events, contests and games for all our student in halls.
The chaplains have also organised a Virtual World Café for all students on Thursday 2 April, and you can find the details on how to take part on the portal.
Many more are being developed, and although the details aren't quite finalized yet, here are some of the things that are coming up:
