Silent Students Happy Homes - SSHH

Back during my first year in halls...2003, we had day and night porters, these people enforced the 'Quiet Period' which lasted throughout students exams. It is a stressfull time for many students, and the last thing we want is to be woken up @ 3 in the morning with people on their way home. Well when i returned to halls in my third year, night porters didnt exist, and therefore the 'Quiet Period' could not be monitored or enforced by any staff. This resulted in many stressed nights on the phone to security so i could get some sleep....the system which has gone from pro-active to re-active, isnt much help to students with a final year exam in the morning......anyway the moral of this story/rant is please respect others over these long and hard few weeks.

RUSU have launched a SSHH campaign, please check the website www.rusu.co.uk/sshh

Student life is vibrant, exciting and enjoyable for many people, and no-one would want to stop that. The objective of the SSHH campaign is to raise awareness of noise disturbances, which effect everyone from revising students to young families. It takes little effort to reduce the noise you make, but the affect on others is huge.
