I applied for Primary, yes I had my interview and got a conditional offer, I've chosen elsewhere after much consideration though, but the primary interview was pretty fair, but know they differ for each subject.

Oh well done! Which uni did you choose at the end?
Were the interview questions like why you want to teach? Tell me a time when you had to lead etc? I think I'm more worried about the interview tbh!

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about guests staying in your room, if they don't go to the university?

Hi @franh_xoxo I got this from the Newman University Accommodation Guide for you: :smile:

Students can allow only one overnight guest stay in their room for no more than two nights in any one week. The following conditions must however be met:
• • The name of the visitor must be passed onto the Out of Hours Team in order to facilitate a full evacuation of Halls in the case of fire.

• • The host student accepts full responsibility for his/her visitor, and their behaviour. The student and any guests are subject to the Authority of the Halls Tutor/Security Guard whilst on the premises.

• • The guest is a relative or close friend for whom the host student can fully vouch.

• • The student must accompany their guest at all times whilst in halls. Guests are not allowed to wander around halls without the student who has invited them into halls.

• • A penalty will apply if guests stay for a longer period than allowed or abuse the rules whilst in halls of residence.

Students can borrow a mattress from the Housekeeping department (subject to availability) for use by their guest and a bedding pack if required which will cost £2.00. The mattress and bedding pack need to be ordered from Housekeeping 48 hours in advance and can be collected by arrangement between 10.00am and 2.00pm.

However, please note that this year we will review the above and there may be changes in order to maintain social distancing, following advice from the UK Government.
