Official Rosebery thread thing 2011

Just out of curiosity, how do people manage to fit in all the food etc. for 30 people in one fridge (I assume there is only one)?

why would there only be one?

Just an assumption that there would be one fridge per kitchen... How many are there then?

By the infallible rule that is 'SHOTGUN', of course.

Permanent markers and brute force.

You're right, there is one full length fridge in each kitchen (or two semis). A lot of people have their own fridge in their room. Means you can do a big shop and not have any of your food stolen/used as weapons in food fights.
Fridge space may be less of a problem this year however, as I expect most people will be using the canteen more (since this year we automatically pay £20 a week there).

When's everyone moving in? Will we be sent an email asking us to confirm our moving in date, or do we simply have to send them an email and tell them?

Hey, in response to your second question, you may want to contact the Rosebery reception. The default date on the form was 25th sept, but they will be able to tell you what you have put down/if you haven't filled out the form yet. See the post above for contact details.

In response to your first question, most people tend to move in on the default date.

Thanks for the help, I'll send them an email now. I imagine I'll probably move in sometime over that 24th/25th weekend.

If you log onto your hall pad on the home page there's a little box asking you to confirm your date of arrival. I'm moving in the on the 22nd so I'm still gonna ring to confirm and see if they can give me a room for three extra nights!

Are most people just moving in on the official date? (That questions not specifically directed at you, it's for anyone on the thread to answer lol)

I'm moving in on the 25th. And I was wondering, if I was buying a fridge, is this about the right size? http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Mini-Fridges/buy-PROLINE-PMF70A-Mini-Fridge/521418 it's bigger than some, but unlike others you can actually fit multiple things in this.

That's a good size, but be warned. Those little freejees make a helluva racket.

Sorry If I'm echoing a previous post but are most people moving in on the 25th or going a little earlier?

Has anyone got any solid plans for Freshers week... I've seen a few of the events that are happening but if anyone could send me a link to a few more, I'd appreciate it.

Can't wait to move to London....

Hey,

We are just finalising a Rosebery freshers timetable thingy. Just speaking to all the clubs/promoters at the moment. Finalised plans will be posted to the facebook group so that people can buy tickets/fancy dress beforehand. LSE also run their own orientation timetable so there will be plenty of choice!
