Bristol Uni Accommodation Info MKII (Please post all questions here)

When do we find out our flat numbers for Waverley house? Also is anyone moving in before the official moving in weekend?

If it's the same as The Rackhay (just across the road) then you won't find out until you arrive, which is a bit poo if you ask me.

Can someone tell me when does the freshers week start? I thought it starts on the 19th September but I've got given my timetable and it looks like my induction week starts on the 19th as well.

How much is the accommodation per week?

If anyone wants to swap accommadation with me please reply. Im at liberty living with my own kitchen and tv. Theres also a student common room and gym and lots of student freshers are there. I dont want to swap because of anything against the accommodation, its more personal reasons and i'd prefer a university hall (preferably catered).

How much is your accommodation a week?

Its also only five minutes away from the uni

there's usually a couple of free days at the end of the week for the traditional freshers fair down by the harbourside, for you to stock up on free stuff for the year

Free you say? Care to elaborate so I don't buy stuff that I'll not need?

ha nothing too exciting I'm afraid; it's often billed up as a legendary event, when in reality it's often a disappointment- usually a goody-bag from Wilkos, Morrisons; free dominoes pizza; endless free pens, sweets, vouchers, condoms, annual subscription to The Economist (you get the idea).

The two are the same- it's technically called 'intro week' now,

Hey

Just been accepted to Hiatt-Baker Hall- Catered
Wasn't in my 1st or 2nd choice (Wills and churchill)

Just have few questions about accomodation

1. I am international and Bristol *kindly* handed over my CAS number a bit too late
so I still haven't got my visa - applied it this Monday.
I don't think I might be able to be on time for the arrival weekend
Is it possible to move in after the arrivals weekend? Don't really wanna miss out on a lot of fun activities and friends
I did request for my visa to be on priority - applying from NZ

2. I am massive. My height is 188cm
I saw on the website that my accomodation will provide me a single sized bed
but I don't think I can manage to fit it in
Is there a way to ask for my bed size to be swapped with extra payments or do I need to stick to sleeping on single sized bed?

3. I'm bringing multisocket adapters - even though I'm not supposed to (haha)
Is it ok to use them in your rooms and also will the wardens check our baggage and stuff when we move in?
Just worried that my multisocket adaptors will be confiscated

4. What's the food like in Hiatt-Baker -Catered

5. Is there a necessity to purchase those hall wristbands? - I don't seem to find a point in purchasing it


Thanks alot guys
