Residence Life at Richmond
If you are living with us this academic year at Stay Club, North Acton, you’ll be living with our residence life team who here to support you in adjusting to life in London and making the most of your time outside of the classroom. Our Resident Director and Residence Advisors are all students themselves, so they can also help you navigate University policies and procedures and help identify staff to further support you.

Annet Masinde
Resident Advisor
Hi, I’m Annet! I wear a few hats here at Richmond — Peer Tutor, Cultural Ambassador, Student Hub Assistant, and Residential Advisor — but the thread running through all of them is the same: I genuinely care about making your experience here as smooth, supported, and enjoyable as possible. Whether you need academic guidance and a safe space to ask questions without judgement, someone to help you feel seen and celebrated within our beautifully diverse community, a friendly face at the Student Hub to point you in the right direction, or a reliable presence in your residence when university life feels a little overwhelming, I am here for all of it. I have been in your shoes — navigating a new environment, new expectations, and new people — and I want to be the person I wished I had when I first arrived. My door, both literally and figuratively, is always open
