    Around what time do you actually start Uni?
    On UCAS Track for my firm it says October 2012 and then September 2012 for my insurance - are these the actual dates we move in and get sorted or do we go in earlier to get into our accommodation etc.? Around what dates did you start University as a Fresher?

    I know for Nottingham, Freshers start on the 24th September, and you move in depending on your contract (mine is the 23rd annoyingly:mad:).
    But your Uni should contact you and send you an email or letter notifying you of the dates closer to the time (possibly after results day?)
    Hope this helped!

    Look on the uni website for term dates, it will be more accurate.

    All uni's don't have the same term dates, hence why should check the website of your uni's for exact timings.
    You should be able to move into your accommodation the weekend before freshers week starts.
    It'll get clearer once you get in, they should send you an info pack about starting.

    It varies a lot. I haven't got my second year timetable yet, but in my first year I had some classes start at 09:00, and some start at 16:00.
