Living in Devon and Cornwall

Our counties are vibrant and exciting places to live, and we want you to enjoy your time here. It’s important to remember that your behaviour as a student can have an impact on the area and the other people living here.

While you might live in a ‘student area’, there might be others living around you who are not students, such as families or older people. It’s important to maintain a good relationship with your neighbours and respect their lifestyles and property.

Noise disturbance can have a negative impact on everyone. Playing loud music, having frequent parties and shouting in the street may seem harmless but it can cause distress, discomfort and bad relations with neighbours. Please do enjoy yourself but try your best to do it without disturbing those living around you.

If you’re being affected by nuisance noise, report it to your accommodation provider if you live in student halls or to the local council if you rent privately.
