Nuisance colleges revealed

Alcuin has topped the Freshers’ Week incident table – with 10 problems being recorded.

The college was crowned most incident-prone for the seven-day event, with Derwent coming a close second with nine reported issues.

Goodricke came third with six issues, whilst Vanbrugh and James were awarded joint fourth place with five.

The number of overall campus incidents, including those that took place in colleges, stood at a whopping 97.

This was largely made up of general maintenance problems with plumber call-outs and insecure doors and windows making up 20 issues.

Recorded student welfare concerns stood at 13, whilst alarm activations maxed 12.

But the statistics, obtained by Vision, show a worrying number of thefts and ambulance call-outs – with eight incidents being recorded for each across the seven-day period.

The college that reported the fewest issues was Wentworth, with Langwith and Halifax known to have two and four problems respectively.
