normally open from 4 p.m. till
8 p.m. Monday to Friday.
Today and tomorrow it will be
open all day, from about 9
a.m. This is the place to come
if you have any problems, for
example about money or
accommodation (we have a
list of rental agencies and also
advertise any rooms which
become available in the
university hostels at the end of
term). We also give out the
university identity cards which
you need to join the library
and which allow you to get
discounts at a number of local
shops (including bookshops)

practical). If you don't know
how to boil an egg, this is for
you. It's always full, so get
your name on the list in the
Welfare Office NOW!

members of the university,
whatever their main subject of
