Everyone receives a warm welcome to ISH with a 24 hour/7 days week Reception. There are common rooms and shared kitchen facilities which make a great place to meet other students, arrange social or study groups. If cooking every day is too much trouble, our on-site caterers offer a variety of meals at special prices. The Dean of Students and the Events team are on hand to support all aspects of students’ life from well-being to lively events. Some of the popular social events include culturally themed suppers, theatre outings, Zumba, and in-house activities initiated by residents. Our renowned Travel Club offers substantially discounted trips throughout the UK and beyond. See our What’s On page for all our events. - Facilities
Our in-house bar, The Thirsty Scholar, is a popular hang-out spot for students who are looking for a break from the library and in the evenings it often turns into a lively bar with Karaoke and DJ nights. We also have a live music venue, 229, that promotes upcoming and established bands from the UK and beyond.
