Find out about the quiet hours in your student accommodation and respect them. Especially in the evening and at night, between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., you should avoid loud music, loud conversations, or other disruptive noises. If someone else is too loud, it\u2019s best to address them calmly and directly rather than letting it annoy you unnecessarily. If you\u2019re generally sensitive to noise, headphones or earplugs can be very helpful. But a certain level of noise simply comes with living in student accommodation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4mvx9ajo-7490be8eedf8398db9a1416d3b970f65\">\n.flex_column.av-4mvx9ajo-7490be8eedf8398db9a1416d3b970f65{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4mvx9ajo-7490be8eedf8398db9a1416d3b970f65 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-29  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mtepkf11-a86387f13320639be27752134d88d8db '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>6. A Cleaning Rota for Shared Flats Saves Time<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning can sometimes lead to arguments in student accommodations, especially when no one really feels responsible for it. Some student accommodations offer regular cleaning services, but they usually only cover free spaces, such as tidy desks or tidy floors, and not the details and personal belongings. Whether you\u2019re living in student accommodation or a shared apartment, a simple cleaning schedule with your flatmates can make everyday life much easier. It keeps the place tidy, makes it clear who is responsible for what, and helps ensure that the chores are distributed fairly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple way to keep things fair is to split up the different areas, such as the bathroom, kitchen and floors, and rotate the tasks regularly. For those little jobs that are easy to forget, a chore board can also come in handy. You can use it to keep track of things like taking out the rubbish or buying more toilet paper. That way, everyone knows what needs to be done and who\u2019s up next.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='hr av-gg6o50k-f4abc85d1b2151ca92a441a9441d3fe3 hr-short  avia-builder-el-31  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  hr-left'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4flm10mc-6b9e6666fc76808d2b15fecf22f06938\">\n.flex_column.av-4flm10mc-6b9e6666fc76808d2b15fecf22f06938{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4flm10mc-6b9e6666fc76808d2b15fecf22f06938 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-32  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mtepkt1b-cb263e771743fbf73ebe72e0995e3a72 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 id=\"Visitors, guests and privacy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Visitors, guests and privacy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though you have your own room in student accommodation, you\u2019ll still be sharing many spaces with other people.

Privacy in Student Accommodation Is About Communication<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re planning to have someone stay overnight, you should let both the resident managers and your flatmates know. This gives everyone a chance to prepare and no one is suddenly surprised by a stranger in the shared spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, it\u2019s important to respect your flatmates\u2019 privacy too. Knock before entering someone else\u2019s room rather than simply walking in, even if the door is open. At the same time, don\u2019t be afraid to communicate your own boundaries and respect other people\u2019s boundaries when they need some time or space to themselves. Being open with each other can go a long way towards everyone feeling comfortable and respected in the student accommodation, especially during those first few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='hr av-463adm04-6c0f97c1bdde7b010289e52f6a04ff2b hr-short  avia-builder-el-36  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  hr-left'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3yvzi86c-e58a0796f35ce3cc77ecb85acec18f9f\">\n.flex_column.av-3yvzi86c-e58a0796f35ce3cc77ecb85acec18f9f{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3yvzi86c-e58a0796f35ce3cc77ecb85acec18f9f av_one_full  avia-builder-el-37  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mtepmi0l-6710d711fdb72ef42d04a34bf0da3ebe '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 id=\"Getting to know new people\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Getting to know new people<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting started in student accommodation isn\u2019t just about getting used to a new place.

The shared kitchen and other communal areas are great places to start a conversation and get to know people. Events at your student accommodation, like barbecues, game nights or movie nights, are another easy way to meet other residents.
