All residents and studio sharers have the possibility to edit their profile on the Residents’ Directory.
Visitors are able to search for a resident by building, floor, field of work and by keywords. When a visitor searches the directory, residents’ details will appear first as a summary, then the visitor will be able to click for more information.
If you would prefer to not be included in the Directory, you don’t need to do anything. Don’t edit your details and we will make sure you stay ex-directory. There is a ‘Publish my Directory’ checkbox when you edit your directory profile, only when this has been checked will we publish your profile.
