Hunter Court
Original post by Tillie
does anyone know the date that freshers week begins and the date we have to be in our accomodation?


Original post by Slovakov
Oh, got the same question as Tilie: can I arrive at my accomodation, say on 19th? And what would I lose by arriving so late?

BTW, I'm in Hunter Court 13, taking Mech. Engineering :wink:



Move in weekend is the 17th/18th of September (there is no benefit to arriving one day or the other it's just to reduce congestion around campus - although you may miss personalised events for your halls of residence is you arrive late). We will find out when exactly for each of us specifically when UoB have completely finished handing out accommodation.

Freshers week is 19th- 25th, then from 26th- 30th there are a couple of introductory lectures but effectively no work, so it is viewed as a second Freshers Week, before we all start on the 1st of October.

Hope that helped :smile:
