Fairy Lights

Just wondering, at Kent are you allowed fairy lights in your room?!
Because I know a lot of unis dont allow it and I love my fairy lights so much, and it makes it feel a lot more homely =]

Yeah. I've heard nothing about them being banned and I might have even seen some in someone's room.

No fear; my room will be adorned in so many fairylights you'll feel like you're tripping ^_^

I think they may be banned (don't quote me on that) but it seems to mean nothing though ;yes;

Could always hide them...I mean, how often do people from the uni go into rooms?

I believe they are.

A bribe to the cleaner should cover you, though.

*shock*

BANNED?! That's fecking ridiculous.

And as for tripping, I can safely say I am innocent to anything other than the occasional cigarette and alcohol. ^_^

So are toasters, and mini-fridges, and George Fornby grills, so I'm guessing the Kent Uni SS will stomp down on fairy lights too.

Mini Fridges =O But I was going to bring that as well!! So if you want cold alcohol.. you have to keep it in the kitchen fridge with risk of it being skanked?
Ohhh.. =[ Im going to miss my fairy lights.
Im going to have to go out and buy a lot of non electrical pretty decorations then.

Pfft! I have a toaster, and the cleaner actually advised me to get a minifridge when my food was (well still is) getting stolen.

Fairy lights are fine as long as they're not over the cooker, we decorated our kitchen up to the nines around christmas, had fairylights and bits dangling from the ceiling. Only the ones above the cooker got taken down because they were a fire hazard.

That was a very Christmassy looking kitchen :^_^:

I have a toaster and kettle...I once used the kettle in my room when I couldn't get any hot water to wash in the basin...but never used the toaster :giggle:

Because I'd have to go to the kitchen to get butter anyway :indiff:

I have fairy lights in my room! My neighbour also has a mini fridge - this is in parkwood though, it might be harder in collage accomodation! Butttttt you aren't strictly allowed fairy lights - some of my friends in parkwood had a rather worrying experience where hospitality let themselves in to everyones room in their house to check for fairy lights - but someone in the house had them up, and nothing was done... its all a little confusing!
But, then again, some of my friends have a pet fish in their kitchen :P and their cleaners really don't care, as long as it's not furry! Don't take my word for it though, they might just be lucky (they in parkwood too!)
Good luck with the fairy lights!
