University of Lincoln ResLife

Holi 2026 🌈 What a day 💛

One of our favourite events of the year

So many of you came along to celebrate, throw colour and just enjoy the moment with friends (and new ones)… we’re still finding colour everywhere and we’re not mad about it 😂

Music, colour, dancing and so many good vibes

A huge thank you to our amazing Uni of Lincoln Students' Union and UoL Multi-Faith Chaplaincy for working with us to make it happen 🫶

And to everyone who came down and made it what it was — we loved it

Already looking forward to the next one…

We’ve been a little quiet over Easter… but we’re back 👀💛

March looked like this:
Holi 🌈
So many craft sessions 🎨
Pizza + games nights 🍕🎮
Social badminton + table tennis 🏸🏓

And taking a moment together for University Mental Health Day 💛

A mix of big moments and smaller ones - all part of what makes the lounge what it is!

We’ll be sharing more from some of these soon 👀
So keep an eye out…

💜 International Women’s Day 2026 💜

This year’s theme, Give to Gain, reminds us that when we support and uplift one another, we all benefit.

We’re incredibly proud of the amazing women in our ResLife team who give their time, compassion and energy every day to support our residents. Whether it’s creating welcoming spaces, building connections, or helping students through challenging moments, their impact across our community is huge.

Today we celebrate the women in our team and across our residences who continue to support, inspire and empower others.

Because when women give support, encouragement and opportunity to each other — we all gain. 💜

💕February is the month of all things love, and we absolutely understood the assignment 💕

❤️ Galentine’s Social (TWO sessions because it sold out in record time).
❤️ Chocolate making.
❤️ Make-your-own mocktails.
❤️ Valentine’s crafts.
❤️ Friendship bracelet night.
❤️ A love-themed movie night.
❤️ And yes… the magnificent balloon display (we’re still proud).

Whether you came with friends, made new ones, or just turned up for the chocolate, the lounge was full of good vibes all week.

Because Valentine’s in halls isn’t just about couples.
It’s about:
• friendships
• fun
• community

Safe to say… we really felt it 🥰♥️

Waffle Night went OFF. It was one of our busiest events this term so far.

Three sessions.
Zero regrets.
An unreasonable amount of toppings.

From strawberries and Biscoff to “this might be too much” levels of sauce… you absolutely understood the assignment.

The lounge was BUSY and we loved every second of it. Main character energy from everyone who built a waffle taller than their deadline pile.

Be honest… what’s your go-to waffle combo? 👀

More food socials coming soon. You know where to find us.

We love our Craft Clubs & it is so good to see so many of you at these every week. Here are some of our favourite Sip & Paint highlights 🎨

Easy way to make friends, relax, and get creative — plus you go home with something to make your room feel like home!

We’re low-key obsessed with how good these turned out 👀
Printing, good vibes, and loads of students making something completely unique.

Our residents got involved in mono glitter printing, with designs printed by artist as a keepsake to take back and decorate their rooms.
Later in the evening, we ran a paint and screen-printing workshop, where students designed, painted, and printed their own pieces from start to finish — the creativity in the room was unreal.10/10 wholesome end-of-term energy🩵

Which print would you hang in your room?

Proof that Christmas dinner with your flat hits differently 🎄

Swipe through for some of our favourite flat and friendship group photos from our very first Christmas dinner.
Flatmates, friends, and a Christmas dinner photo you’ll actually want to keep.

We loved seeing residents grab a photo together at our Christmas lunch — proper flat and friendship group moments before heading home for the holidays.

These are the little memories that make halls feel like home 🩵

Throwback to our very first ResLife Christmas lunch 🎄

Over 100 residents came together for festive food, good company, and proper flat Christmas dinner energy before heading home for the holidays.

Huge shoutout to our university catering team who absolutely smashed it with the Christmas lunch, and to everyone who joined us — this is exactly what ResLife is about 🩵

Community, good food, and a bit of festive magic. 10/10 would eat again! ✨

What meal should we host next?

Throwback to the start of our Ju-Jitsu self-defence sessions 🥋

From awareness and personal safety to practical skills — all focused on feeling more confident and supported in everyday situations.

We’re hoping to host more of these in the future. Would you come along? 👀
