Moving out soon? Join your reslife team to take a moment to appreciate your year at accommodation with us! ✨

 

You’ll decorate your own jar, fill it with reflections, Polaroids and your favourite moments from the year. Whether it’s a funny flat memory, an achievement your proud of or a message for your future self, this is a chance to make a keepsake that you can take with you as you head to summer!

Why you should start a memory jar this new year | A Lust For Life - Youth  Mental Health Charity in Ireland

We will have Polaroids available to take photos with your peers! We will also have tons of sweet treats to help you unwind before moving out season starts!

 

This event is for students living in UoB and partner site accommodation, just make sure that you bring your student ID! 🪪

Tennis Courts Social Space does not have step free access; there is one step to enter the social space. It requires keycard access, but our Residence Life assistants will happily let you in if you don't have access. Get in contact with us at events.reslife@guild.bham.ac.uk if the lack of step-free access means you are unable to attend and we will try to accommodate you as best we can!
