Hall facilities
From laundry to contents insurance, we have everything you need.
Insurance
Your contents are insured. Register with Howden for Students to access your cover.
Did you know your possessions are insured while you’re staying with us through our partner, Howden? Find out what is and isn’t covered, by registering with the Howden for Students app.
What's more, you can access a 24/7 wellbeing helpline, a dedicated blog section for everything you need to know about student life, receive discounts on other student-friendly insurance, and check out the career advice section.
TV licence
If you want to watch live television or use an online catch-up service, you'll need to be covered by a TV licence. Communal TVs in halls, such as Unsworth Park, are covered but personal devices aren’t.
However, you're still free to use subscription-based streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney Plus without the need for a TV licence.
For more information visit the TV licencing website.
Internet access
University of Manchester Halls
Halls are connected to the University network, HORNET. Once you've completed your University registration online and set up your username and password you will be able to join.
Help is available on the HORNET portal if you have any issues.
In communal areas, you’ll also be able to access the University WiFi. All bedrooms have access to the Ethernet (wired internet connection).

Instructions on how to use the machines are in the laundry rooms. You’ll need to bring your own washing powder, liquid or tablets.
