Sub-Wardens
Aquinas Sub-Wardens are experienced students who live on site, in rooms amongst other residents.
Sub-Wardens are there to help Aquinas residents adjust to the transition of moving away from home and first year University study.
Our Sub-Wardens are trained to support you. They are an integral part of the community and help provide an enjoyable living and study environment. There is a Sub-Warden on duty each night and at the weekend – so help is always at hand.
