“1. Generally, after booking a dormitory, students have to live in the room they are assigned to (randomly assigned). Some students are not satisfied with the room they are assigned and ask to change it. Unless someone is willing to switch rooms with you, or switch Leeds student accommodation areas.

2. Keep the keys of your school dormitory and do not presume to say that you will get another pair. The English letters on the top of the school keys are legally required in the UK, and no place that dispenses locks has the right to copy such keys, which also ensures the safety of the dormitory.

If a key is lost or damaged, you will generally have to pay about 50 pounds, and the price will vary according to the requirements of each school. When you go to the kitchen, you should bring your keys with you. It often happens that students’ doors are unlocked, and the dormitories have wardens who can assist in opening the doors. However, there are generally rules on the number of times you can do this, and you will be fined if you exceed them.

4. There are alarms in every room in the UK, and dormitories often have alarm drills to make students aware of the crisis, sometimes in the early morning, sometimes in the middle of the night. But basically, the school will have an email to alert you in advance. When the alarm goes off, you must go to the courtyard, do not want to say that because it is a drill to hide, the school warden will go to each house to check whether there is no one, if you are caught, will be fined, there was an example of a fine of 25 pounds, but also depends on the different requirements of the school.

5. Chinese cooking fumes will be very big, usually when Chinese people cook, some foreigners will hide because foreigners are used to eating in the kitchen and the fumes are so choking that they can’t eat. Most of the Chinese students will eat in their own house after cooking while surfing the internet, but they don’t know that the fumes will remain in the house after people leave.

6. The kitchen of the school dormitory is cleaned and the garbage is also cleaned by someone, but it is recommended that Chinese students should probably organize themselves after cooking and not to get too dirty. The garbage should be sorted, and glass bottles and cans should not be put together with the kitchen garbage, but in the designated place.

7. The refund of the deposit is usually decided after the contract is full and the dormitory teacher has checked the room, some students damage the carpet, etc., and the deposit will be deducted from the deposit. Once again, you should clean your room before you leave the dormitory. If it is too dirty, the school will make you clean it before you leave.

Before you live in the school dormitory, you have to turn in your photo. The warden knows who lives inside the school dormitory. So any stranger who comes in will be checked. This is also to ensure the safety of other students.

9. If you have classmates or relatives visiting you, there is also a guest room in the dormitory, the facilities are the same as other rooms in the dormitory, but the price is much cheaper than staying in a hotel outside, but because the number is limited, you have to make a reservation in advance.”
