Please keep the common room clean

The research students' room (F102a) on the Paisley Campus is a privilege which the university has granted us. It is very important that we each take responsibility to make sure we leave it clean and tidy.

This includes:
  • Washing, drying, and putting away dishes and cutlery as soon as possible after use
  • Putting rubbish in the bin
  • Cleaning surfaces and appliances if you spill something
  • Disposing of old food before it goes bad

Please make sure you take responsibility for the room so that we can all continue to enjoy it. Thanks!

The postgraduate programme is highly competitive, only seven grants being awarded this year. Ana’s PhD examines the Beijing Olympic Games of 2008 from a new media and communications perspective, investigating China's image in relation to the online human rights debate.
