Social distancing measures in place during the COVID-19 outbreak has completely changed the way residence life events in accommodation are run, with all events now being delivered online. While this is the complete opposite of the face to face community building that traditional residence life provides, does a virtual delivery actually enable it to reach more students, including prospective students and become an even bigger part of the student experience?

On our very first episode, we talk to James Greenwood, Student Experience Manager for Accommodation & Estates at University of the Arts London; and Tom Martin, Head of Residency Living at Student Living by Sodexo to find out how they've digitised their residence life programme and what they think of its' future in a post COVID-19 world.
