UOB Moving in day 2014?

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone could reassure me of what the moving in day will be for new students in September 2014. My mum wants to book it off work so I don't want to give her the wrong dates. I found here -http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/welcome/parents/key-dates.aspx#a2014 - that new arrivals are 20-21st September, this is referring to us and will be the days we move in right? Thanks

I think you will be safe to tell her it is the 20-21st september because I don't see what else it could mean, I was just hoping someone could definitely confirm haha :tongue:

Hi guys. I can confirm the move-in day will be on the 20th and 21st of Sept. You'll get more information about the dates and your time slot once you receive an offer of accommodation. :smile:

1st October is when we start our course, but uni of bhams website says we start course 29th september, which makes more sense as that is a monday. I think we move in 20-21, makes sense, its a weekend. I think it defo is. We'll find out results day

Like the poster above said,

The first day of lectures is Monday 29th September, this means that Freshers' Week is the week before (starting Monday 22nd) so yes the moving-in weekend would be the 20-21st. :smile:

I'm flying in from Singapore :smile:

I'm pretty sure that we're supposed to move in on the 20th and 21st (I've booked my ticket). I managed to find last year's UoB blog for new students, http://uobquestions.blogspot.sg. I found it to be pretty useful, hope that helps in a way or another. :smile:

I tweeted UOB and they confirmed that it is in fact the 21st September (although you can come sooner if you want to). Courses start on the 29th as well as a rule. I've received my offer of accommodation already and the email stated that more information from the Uni and individual departments (like reading lists and welcome info etc) was on its way in the post.
