Do you want to help your fellow Imperial students with finding a great house? Do you want to donate to a brilliant charity by reviewing your rental property? 

If the answer to both of those questions is 'Yes', then you're in the right place!

You might remember that as part of the Union’s campaign to tackle housing issues, last term we collaborated with a fantastic website called Move’m. The campaign last term was so successful that we are running another one, to make sure you rate your student accommodation before leaving for summer. 

Many of us have had issues with poor quality housing or rogue landlords (or both if you’ve been really unlucky!), and it is time to put an end to that. Move’m is essentially a TripAdvisor for student housing. Similar to how you would rate a hotel or restaurant, you can now rate your student houses too. You can review and advise on properties that you loved and properties that you hated. Other students at Imperial are then able to benefit from this inside knowledge, by knowing which properties are pleasant to live in and which should be avoided. 

To help your fellow students, we would like as many of you as possible to review accommodation you’ve lived in within the past 5 years. In doing so you will also be donating to charity! For every review left, using your Imperial email address, Move'm will donate £1 to the United World Schools. This charity has been chosen by RAG and is an extremely worthy cause. United World Schools creates educational opportunity for children living in the world’s poorest regions. Their global mission is to help reach children that do not receive even the most basic education.

What to do next:

-       Go to the Move’m website and submit your review easily via this link https://movem.co.uk/listing-submit/

-       Move’m will contact the letting agent to obtain records of the house availability 

-       ALL reviews (positive and negative) will be posted online.

Simple as that!
