Izzie Nicholds - Housing & Community officer

Hiya, I’m Izzie, your Housing and Community Officer this year! I’ve taken a year out of my degree to make sure you guys get a great living experience whilst at UoB, whether that’s in halls or the wonderful Selly Oak. Within my role, I work closely with the RAs, Student Mentors, Community Wardens and others in the local community. So, don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want to chat about anything from renting a house to how to recycle. I promise I’m not scary!
