Accomodation

Hi miss sunshine 12 Please don't panic. Are you part of the new starters group on FB? There's lots of info on there - here's the link: https://business.facebook.com/groups/1650180481670282/

In terms of your other queries - arrival/move in day is 15th Sept between 8am and 6pm. We're sending out emails this week so you can book a time slot but you can find some more info about the first week here - http://www.staffs.ac.uk/welcome

Regarding accommodation; you can find some info here: http://www.staffs.ac.uk/support_dept...odation/stoke/ but if you need any more info, email [email protected] or you can call them on 01782 294221

Hope that helps.

Thanks

Amy

Hi i will be moving into college court and would like to know if anyone knows when arrival slots are booked as other than knowing which accomodation i am in i know nothing else ?
Does college court have lockable cupboards and how many fridges does it have ?
I have only seen photo of college court

@carchie1147 Could you help with the above query regarding amenities at College Court at all? Thanks

1 fridge per flat (which is a block of 4 rooms) I think the fridges have 3/4 shelves
1 Freezer per flat with 4 drawers
No lockable cupboards, perhaps keep things you want to store safely in your room

Its what I did when I first moved in there, so don't think it will be a problem. All block, flat and rooms can only be opened with the fob and key they give you so remember to arrange to meet your parents on arrival as they can't get in without you

The staff are pretty helpful and friendly to be honest

thats great thanks you have been great help as i was panicking so if i arrive earlier than slot arrival time then i would not be able to collect my fob key but if i can then its a relief as i can just go to college court and wait there for them and yes i will tell them to call me when they actually arrive ...

is there parking in college court for my parents to unload etc

@miss sunshine 12 I would call a college court a few days before you are due to arrive to explain the situation too, just so they are prepared for you

yes there is parking, its pretty limited parking though. They just press the buzzer near the gate and staff left them in.

I forgot to mention, for college court even if you are arriving on foot from the train station, there are gates you need a fob for to actually get into the
premises. Obviously you won't have this until you get your fob and keys, just press the buzzer near the gate and explain who you are to be let in

Hi @miss sunshine 12

yes booked time slot but didn't realise until later that my train is booked for earlier than arrival slot so i will arrive earlier than my parent who is bringing my belongings in car which is why i asked if i could go and enrol and collect my keys etc once my train arrives and then meet my parent at my accomadtiion college court and i will inform them to let me know when they arrive but i will inform college court once i arrive that my parents will be slightly later then me ?
