Living Out

With about half of the Woodsmen and women living out of college it is important that there is someone on the exec to look after and represent their interests. The job of Livers Out Officer is divided into two roles, for those living in (mostly freshers) I am here to help you find a safe, affordable, comfortable house in Durham. For those living out I am here to provide a link to college and to help with any housing problems which may arise over the year.

If you need any help with living-out, housemates or your landlord, then please contact the livers out officer.
