My address
You can find the address of your housing unit on your tenancy agreement, which you will receive upon check-in. You can also find it based on your room number. Here is an example of how you should write your address, using the keychain 56.02.150.028
56 = site 02 = building 150 = '5' refers to the floor on which the room is 028 = '28' refers to the room number on the floor
So the address is as follows:
NAME: Anna Sanchez
RESIDENCE: Home Uppsala
ADDRESS + ROOM: Stalhof 49 – room 528
CITY + COUNTRY: B-9000 Gent, Belgium
Please use the correct mail box and please, inform your correspondents or your correct address.

Receiving mail
Letters are delivered to your mailbox by BPost (or the postal service). You can find your personal mailbox in or near the entrance hall of your residence, at your door or in the hallway. Your mailbox number has 3 digits, relating to your floor and room number (e.g.: 528 is the mailbox for room 28 on the 5th floor).
Parcels are accepted at the reception of home Vermeylen in the following instances:
- were sent from your home country;
- contain study-related content (e.g. from your faculty);
- contain medical content;
- contain official documents (e.g. passport)
In such cases, the receptionist will inform you by email (check your spam!). Please note that we will not accept or sign for parcels from commercial companies. For this, you can use a pick-up point or parcel shop.
Unfortunately, parcels are not always delivered to the reception desk, but left by delivery drivers at the entrance of one of the buildings. For this reason, a pick-up point is always the safest option.
FAQ
How do I know mail was delivered at the reception desk?
Mail that cannot be delivered to you directly, is left at the reception desk of Home Vermeylen. We will notify you by email when it has arrived. It is compulsory to bring your ID or student card.
Can I still receive mail after my check-out?
Please do not forget to fill in a mutapost-form at a local post office in case you are expecting correspondence after your check-out.
Letters and parcels for former residents are normally being sent back to sender. This is however not the case with activation codes for residence cards.
