We are looking for photographs that represent student life in University accommodation. This is not limited to photographs of the actual buildings. The photographs can represent any aspect of resident life that you feel captures student experience in University accommodation, whether that is dancing at the hall ball, partying on raisin weekend, eating in the dining room, hanging out with friends in the kitchen or bedroom or even doing some studying!
