Frequently Asked Questions 

Getting used to Univeristy can get confusing at first, so here are some FAQs on the essentials that you may need to know ! If you have any more questions, just email us at theholthall@outlook.com or message us on facebook. 

 

What are Hall Subs?

 

Hall subs are a compulsory payment if you wish to take part in any aspect of hall life, including freshers! Hall subs completely cover the cost of freshers, punch parties, sport and so much more as well as giving you great discounts on Holt clothing and other big social events such as winter and summer ball. So, if you want to enjoy Uni life to the fullest then hall subs need to be on your shopping list!. 

 

How much are they and which one do I pay? 

 

Freshers

For those who are joining us for their first year, it costs just £100 for an entire years’ worth of fun which is a fraction of the student loan that you’ll be given when you get here! Once you’ve paid this, you will be able to be join in all the fun that goes on throughout the year!

Returners

For those that are coming back to stay at The Holt or joining us in their later years, it costs £50 which entitles you to participation in everything at the hall with the exception of freshers, let them do their thing.

Affiliates 

This is for those students who live away from The Holt but still want to be a part of the amazing community. This costs just £25 and will allow you to participate in all Holt events, apart from Freshers. All committee members and fresher helpers will need to pay these if you are living away from The Holt. 

 

If you have any questions about hall subs, then drop an email to our treasurer, Charlie, who will be more than happy to answer your questions! You can reach him at c.turner-18@student.lboro.ac.uk
