What is Residential Life?

Queen Mary offers a Residential Life programme for all students living in halls. It gives residents affordable opportunities to meet new people, socialise with friends and have fun in the comfort of halls. The aim is to ensure that residents settle in well to life on campus, promote their student wellbeing through the year and help to create a positive community offering where residents support to one another and ultimately have fun together!

What is the Resident’s Rewards Card?

Residents need a Residents’ Rewards Card to participate in Residential Life events and initiatives.The Residents’ Rewards card can be claimed after completing the online welcome to halls. Residents can then present at reception with a screenshot of the completed certificate, and you will be given your residences rewards card.

Residents can find out more about how you can get your residents rewards card here: https://residentiallife.qmul.ac.uk/collect-your-residents-rewards-card_126077

Once a resident has collected their Residents’ Rewards Card they will be able to claim freebies from treat drops offered by the residential life team as well as to participate in fun events that happen year-round such as Genesis Cinema trips, craft sessions and seasonal events.

It is a must have when living in halls!!

To find out what events are being run by the residential life team there will be a monthly calendar placed in all halls detailing the events and activities taking place. As well as this you can also follow the residential life Instagram page @qmreslife and on the website. Finally, you will also receive an email notifying you of the events the residential life team are holding and how you can get involved.
