My surname starts with a Y, but I'm coming down Saturday because apparently if you arrive on Sunday people have already started forming friendships and it just makes it more awkward
Yeah, they're probably expecting most people to come on the Saturday anyway. I don't want to miss out on a day of freshers either.
The 'l-z' thing is just so they don't have everyone turning up at once. You can still turn up on whichever day you want though. I'd also recommend turning up on Saturday, you'll get a better choice of cupboard/ fridge space and you'll get to know people slightly earlier.
I was wondering whether it is possible to move in on the Friday at all, if you asked permission from the university? There's only my dad and I, and we're full-time carers, so Saturday/Sunday are really difficult days to organise since no care help is locally available on weekends. I really hate the idea of having to bother administration with this, but I'm a little stuck :/

Only way would be to contact the University. International students typically arrive the preceding week so it can probably be done, but it will need arranging as the keys will otherwise be with your resident tutor, who will only be on hand over the weekend (unless otherwise organised)

Okay, thank you ^.^ I was thinking that I'd have to contact the uni and ask them. Urgh, effort :P
Can someone tell me the policy in the halls for a mini-fridge? Ive heard they're banned but does this vary from different halls if they are intact banned at all would be very grateful!

They're banned without a medical reason. But some people have had them all year and they haven't been noticed. Having said that, people have been caught out when Estates have come to fix stuff.
Also whats a good size TV to bring?! And is there room for like a little cabinet/stand to place it on so my desk space is free?
You don't really need one - you probably won't find much time to use it! If you bring a console or something then you might play together or so. Most people hang out in the kitchen, common room, each others room and whatever. I guess like upper 20's " would work or say a 32". But there isn't a lot of room for that kinda stuff unless you're in one of the large room accommodations - Westwood, Bluebell, Sherbourne or so.
Everyones taking about moving in?! I don't even know which of their accommodation I'm in :P What Saturday should we movie in? And anyone else studying Physics?

I believe the 3rd and 4th of October are the days we can move in
