This is a positive move by U-Student and shows commitment in providing high quality accommodation at affordable prices. Located on Neville Road Sunderland, The Forge – U-Student Village is within minutes of the Metro train station, within walking distance of the University City Campus (0.9 mile) and within a short walk to all local amenities.

The University of Sunderland celebrates and values the diversity of all students and staff. Through our policies and practices, we work to ensure that all students and staff are welcome in our community and do not face discrimination or encounter barriers with regards to their disability. In line with our strategic aims, we work to deliver a positive environment for the conduct of all our activities, where all members of our community can maximise their potential in an environment of mutual respect and dignity. Residential Services is committed to providing an accessible environment to all disabled visitors and residents.

Student Accommodation Code and National Code
As part of our commitment to providing you with a first-class housing service both the University and The Forge U-Student Village have signed up to a code thereby providing students with information, reassurance and a procedure to follow if a dispute occurs. A full version of the Student Accommodation Code is available to download at:

Environmental Good Practice
Sunderland University was the first University in the North East to achieve the Carbon Trust Standard accreditation. The Carbon Trust Standard is the world’s first carbon award that requires an organisation to measure, manage and reduce its carbon footprint and actually make real reductions year-on-year. The University is proud of its achievements in this area and is committed to environmental sustainability. Residential Services seeks to reduce its carbon emissions through greater environmental awareness and control across all its accommodation – monitoring closely the areas of waste, energy and utilities, transport and procurement to promote sound environmental management policies. We encourage our residents to save energy usage through simple measures, ranging from switching off lights, computer screens and phone chargers to sharing the cooking of meals. In doing so our residents will support the University’s energy awareness campaign ‘The Big Turn Off’ and collectively these small measures can have a massive impact on the amount of carbon produced by the University and help in achieving our carbon reduction targets.

http://www.thesac.org.uk/
and the National Code at

http://www.nationalcode.org/

The codes outline best practice and provide benchmarks for the management and quality of student housing in the Higher Education sector, protecting students’ rights to safe, good quality accommodation, wherever they are studying, and makes sure they get the best out of their time living in university or college residences.

Personal Possessions Insurance
As part of your university accommodation package you will receive personal possessions insurance cover through Endsleigh. For further information on enhancing your insurance please visit:

Data Protection
The University of Sunderland is registered as a data user with the Office of the Information Commissioner. The University holds data relating to its students for a variety of purposes including the management of student accommodation, whereby the accommodation contract is between the student and the University. This means that the Accommodation Office is not able to enter into any discussions with a third party (including parents and other family members) unless the student has given their permission (exceptional circumstances apply as provided by law).

http://www.endsleigh.co.uk/Student/
Insurance cover is not applicable to short term bookings. (less than 18 weeks)
