This is… 100% NOT a Workshop: Housing & Housemates

Date: January 28th

Time: 12:00PM – 1:45PM

Room: DS3

Struggling to figure out where to live next year? Worried about contracts, dodgy landlords, bills, new laws, or being stuck with a nightmare housemate?

Don’t worry — you’re not the only one. And this time… we’re making housing actually fun.

Join us for an interactive, game-filled session designed to help you feel confident, clued-up, and ready to take on renting — without the boring lecture vibes. This is 100% NOT a workshop. It’s chaos, laughs, mini-games, prizes, renters’ rights, and genuinely helpful housing advice wrapped into one.

What to expect

Housemate Bingo (bring friends for extra advantage!)

Housing Myth Smash — real vs fake? You decide.

Choose Your Own Housing Disaster — solve the scenarios you hope you never face.

Contract Speed-Dating — four quick-fire stations that teach you the red flags FAST.

NEW: Renters’ Rights Bill Breakdown — what’s changed, how it affects students, and what you actually need to know before signing anything.

20-minute Q&A with Shelter — your chance to ask anything.

FIVE prizes — from little essentials to a big house-themed finale prize.

Whether you’re moving into private renting next year, thinking about it, or simply trying to avoid drama — this session is for you.

Why bring friends?

You don’t have to — it’s just more fun!

IMPORTANT

This event is the pre-cursor to our major “Housemate Hunting” event in February.

Come to this one to get the knowledge — then come in February to actually meet potential housemates and form real groups.

Don’t wait until the last minute.

Start smart.

See you in DS3!
