Everything you need to know about the halls survey

At the heart of our commitment to the student experience is student feedback. The Investor in Students (IiS) Survey is one of the important tools we use to make that happen.

🏡 What is the Investor in Students Survey? 

The Investor in Students Survey is a confidential and anonymous feedback survey designed to give students a way to share their views on life in halls. This feedback is crucial for us in continuing to deliver excellent student support and experience.  

After students have moved into halls, we ask them about: 

🧳 Their move in experience 

🛋️ Living spaces and facilities 

🤩 Social events and activities 

 🛠️ Maintenance and repairs 

This ensures we have a clear picture on how they’re settling into university life in halls. 

Later in the year, before they leave halls, we ask students to reflect on their overall experience.  

🤔Why do we do it? 

We want to deliver the best student experience possible! 

Collecting student feedback allows us to: 

• Listen directly to the experiences of our students
• Identify priorities that matter most
• Shape improvements that have a positive impact
• Measure our progress each year

Every response contributes to positive changes that support both current and future students. 

✨ What changes have we made because of your feedback?
