Review LUU
You will soon receive an email inviting you to take part the LUU Review! It would be really helpful to us if you take part in completing the Review survey to help shape the future plans of LUU. Plus, you will also get the chance to win a £1,000 cash prize as well as buy your summer ball ticket a day earlier than their official release! Find out more at www.luuonline.com/thereview.


BEWARE...Providence Properties has a new name!
The offices of Providence Properties appear to have a new name above the shop - 'Your Student Properties'. There are still a high number of complaints against Providence Properties for non-return of deposits. It is not yet clear if this is Providence re-branding or a new company opening up. If you are looking for a property to rent make sure you get the contract checked at the Student Advice Centre before signing up. For further information, or advice on house hunting, contact advice@luu.leeds.ac.uk.


This week at LUU, get yourself along to...
Fruity! As part of the Skint sales, this Friday, Fruity for half price! Get your tickets for just £2.50 from Cats or Hiccup, in the Union building, or from www.leedstickets.com!
