Advice: Missing food

Q. Shortly after I moved into my flat I noticed that bits of my food kept going missing, nothing big just some milk or bread would be taken. I wouldn’t mind if people asked me first but I don’t know how to bring it up with my flat.

A. If you get on quite well with your flatmates then sit them down and have a chat. Try not to be accusing even if you have suspicions on who might be taking your food. Say that you don’t mind if people have run out of food just you wish they would ask you first. If this doesn’t help or if you really do not get along with your flatmates, try keeping your food in your room, or you can talk to the student support services or your accommodation provider.
