Students and Parties

The Perfect Party

• Remember that other people keep different hours to you (they may work shifts)
• Keep the bass down
• Close all windows and doors
• Inform your neighbours (not just the immediate ones) at least 24 hours before having a party, decide a time to finish and stick to it!
• Have the party at the weekend
• Don't have frequent parties at the same location
• In the summer if the party starts outside move inside at a reasonable time
• Consider the position of stereos and televisions (not on adjacent walls)
• When leaving and entering the property ask guests to keep voices down
• Remember you are responsible for the noise and behaviour of your guests

If these tips are followed then the party you are having will hopefully have a minimal effect on your neighbours and thus reduce the number of complaints received. The most important thing to remember is if you receive a complaint act upon it. Everybody likes a party but nobody likes to be unduly disturbed, so think, consider and respect before having a party to prevent more serious repercussions than a hangover!
