British tap water is completely safe to drink straight from the tap. It is said to be one of the best water supplies in the world, and water quality is regularly monitored by an independent organisation called the Drinking Water Inspectorate to ensure our water is both clean and safe to drink.

Water in our city is classed as 'hard water' due to the high mineral content. Sometime this causes a cloudy appearance but it does not cause any health risks. However, some people like to improve the purity of their water with a water filter.

When you order items, they'll be delivered to our parcel service and we will email you when they arrive.

When you get an email saying your parcel has arrived, just head to the parcel collection point in the Block D foyer to pick it up.

You can also have items delivered before you arrive – we’ll keep them safe in our parcel room until you collect your keys.

We advise you open a bank account in the UK to keep your money safe. You can then get a debit card to make contactless payments and/or and take cash out from a cash point (ATM).

There are many banks in the UK offering varying products and services. It is a good idea to do some research to find the right bank for you before you arrive in the UK. 

You should register with a medical doctor (GP/General Practitioner) as soon as possible, to ensure you can access healthcare if needed.

De Montfort University has the De Montfort Surgery, while the University of Leicester works closely with Victoria Park Health Centre, and many students register there as it is right next to campus.

You can also find other doctors on the NHS website: https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-GP
