We’re here to support you throughout your time in halls

Life at University can feel overwhelming, 🙇🏻 living in a new place, finding new friends and managing coursework deadlines can be stressful for anyone! At Halls Life we understand the unique challenges students face and that’s why we’re Here 4 U. 💜

Here 4 U Run Club

New for September 2026, we're starting the Here 4 U Run Club! Everyone is welcome, regardless of fitness level and we'll have staff and students walking the routes as well! 🙌

What is Here 4 U?

Here 4 U is dedicated to support and assist you throughout your stay in our halls. We want to help you relax, recharge and rest assured that you feel supported throughout your studies and stay with us.

Here4U is run by our friendly Halls Life Student Wellbeing Coordinator, Marco! 

What support is available to me?

You can find all sorts of online resources under the Health & Wellbeing tab on the Halls Life website, such as money and budgeting tips, free wellbeing events and guides.

Feeling a bit lonely and in need of a friendly chat? Starting university can be exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. If you’d like a bit of extra support settling in, why not join a Coffee and Chat session?

What is it? A casual meet-up with a Halls Life team member — a relaxed opportunity to connect, unwind, and share how you’re feeling. Go for a coffee, a walk, or just have a chat. Sessions are flexible and last up to an hour.

How to sign up: Find the form here. (It’s confidential and only seen by the Halls Life team.)

Need more support? Check out this article on UAL support services that are available to you throughout your time in halls and beyond.

Hosted by our very own UAL Halls Life student wellbeing coordinator Marco Bodi (he/him), every month he sits down with a new guest to discuss important topics in the LGBTQ+ community on the Queer Peers Podcast. 🌈

One of the many advantages of studying at UAL is students' access to Special Learning Difference support. The Disability Service Department provides professional advice and support for students who are disabled and neurodivergent. Find out more.

Free wellbeing events such as yoga, puppy therapy and pilates. 🧘‍♀️

Free STI Kits – Available at reception. If you don't feel comfortable collecting one from reception, please email hallslife@arts.ac.uk.

Here 4 U Corner

We're easing the cost of living in halls through simple, supportive initatives, including:

Located in halls' common rooms, our stand is stocked with freebies throughout the year! You’ll find a rotating mix of:

Sexual health materials
Snacks & drinks
Mindfulness activities
Magazines and books
…and much more!

Located in halls' common rooms, these dispensers provide free dry staples such as rice, grains, pasta, and cereals. We’ll rotate the options throughout the year to keep things fresh and varied.

Our vegetarian community fridge, found in the common room, is there to share food with others. Got unopened, in-date veggie items you won’t use? Leave them for someone else to enjoy—or take what you need!

Available in the common toilets, because we believe period products should be accessible and free. Help yourself to sustainable products whenever you need them.

To ease the cost of washing, we’ve provided free laundry powder in some laundry rooms at halls. Use what you need!

We’d love to hear from you. If you’d like to give feedback or book a Coffee & Chat with the Student Wellbeing Coordinator, head to our Linktree or email us at hallslife@arts.ac.uk.
