Sounds good, doesn’t it! So, now we’ve got your attention, you’re probably wondering how you get involved with the #MyHostCity competition?
For those of you who recently moved into our accommodation, you may have noticed the addition of some colourful #MyHostCity emoji stickers within your Welcome Packs. Well, these are your gateway to winning big in our competition!
All you have to do is follow these 5 simple steps to be in with a chance of winning big:
Step 1: Get outside and explore your new town or city.
Step 2: Capture some photos along the way – making sure to include one of the #MyHostCity stickers in your photo(s).
Step 3: Once captured, simply upload your photo(s) to social media (Facebook, Instagram or Twitter).
Step 4: Tag us in your post using the handle @hoststudentsuk. You must also include the hashtag #MyHostCity.
Step 5: Keep an eye out on our social media pages for any updates and announcements to see if you’re one of our lucky winners!
You don’t have to stop at sharing only one photo. If you’re looking at your sheet of stickers wondering which one to use, why not use them all? You can enter the competition more than once; so with 12 stickers available, that’s up to 12 chances of winning if used individually!
So, charge your cameras, grab your stickers and get snapping!
What you waiting for? Grab those 12 stickers, get outside and explore your Host City!

#HostEnvironmentalPledge.
Getting serious about the environment we live in.
To become more ‘environmentally friendly’, Host is launching the #HostEnvironmentalPledge campaign to encourage responsible behaviour and drive sustainability across our sites throughout the UK and Ireland.
It’s a simple campaign! If we can reduce our overall utilities (electric, water and gas) consumption by 1% then we will donate £10,000, 2% reduction means £20,000, 3% is £30,000 and so on, to 3 charities; BulliesOut, Planet Patrol and World Land Trust.
