Edge Hill University Residential 2016

I was just wondering if anyone else had been accepted for the residential in August and what course had everyone applied for? I've applied for the psychology course and just wondered if anyone has?

I've been accepted onto the English Language and my girlfriend has been accepted onto Performing Arts - apparently we're staying in Chancellors Court which is the fancy one. Ironically Chancellors Court is a place where I spend most of my time in college due to me being taught AS Maths there

Hi. I've got a place on the secondary teaching and education one. How do you know which accommodation you'll be in? The confirmation email just said I'd get an email 1-2 weeks before it starts.

Hi, that sounds really good are you from Lancashire?? Which week are you? I havent a clue either, i just got told to wait aswell, although if the other guy is right, chancellor court is swish
Hi. Yes I'm in Lancashire, how about you? And I'm week 2.

Might see you then!
Hey!
So I'm going to be working the residentials as Day staff so you'll probably see me around. If you have any questions feel free to ask =D

Also for accommodation nothing is confirmed but it's very likely to be chancellors. It was last year anyway.
Chancellors is the only one that's actually big enough for everyone =P

I'm not really meant to give figures as they're still sorting out applications and stuff but they will be around 200-250ish in total (It depends cause way more people apply then loads don't turn up) For each subject there's places for 25-30 students but some courses have much less apply (For example for Drama last year there was 8 people). i know theres been a couple of courses no longer accepting applications because they've reached capacity =)

You're not usually allowed to leave campus during the residentials, only staff are allowed to leave when we're not on shift. For example if I wanted to go home during my lunch hour I wouldn't be allowed to, I could only leave at the end of my shift. It's just because there's some people who are 16/17 and it's not fair that some people can leave and others can't. Everything that you need is on campus though =)

As for nights out I'm not really too sure. The bar probably won't be open but they do put stuff on every evening so it's not like you finish your "class" at four then you have to sit in your room, theres a full schedule until 11pm so there's always something on, then theres a party on the last night as well (Which you'll probably see me for the last hour off =L)

With smoking you can smoke wherever you like within reason, so you can't smoke in your room (But I guess you already knew that =L) and you can't smoke indoors but once you're outside the Edge Hill rule is you have to be 1m away from doorways when smoking but other than that you can smoke whereever =)

I can give you an example of what the day would be like now if you want? But you get your official timetable on the day you arrive, the one I have is just a master copy. Each one is personalised but they all follow the same structure

Downtime 4-5
Dinner 5-6
Independent study (You get set a small project)- 6-7
Free time/Evening activity- 7-10



As I said it is subject to change but that's the structure the day will hopefully follow =) The Monday and Thursday will be a bit different =)
