Sub-Wardens
Aquinas Sub-Wardens are experienced students who live on site, in rooms amongst other residents. They are there to help 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.
