Freshers' Week

Your JCRs

When you move into halls of residence, your JCR team will be there to greet you. The JCR is a committee of students who are current or ex-residents of your hall, elected by you to perform a number of roles. They represent the voice of their fellow residents to the Union, and are responsible for keeping people safe & informed. They're also responsible for the halls sports teams and they organise a great social calendar to get you meeting other people in your halls and settled into university life.

There's a JCR for each halls - even if you are going to be living in private rented accommodation in your first year. We've listed them all below so you can find out more about what they have planned for the upcoming year.
