I think that they are allowed, its just that they would need to pay to stay somewhere. You can always just sneak them in also, I stayed at my girlfriends in Bristol a few times, also for my interview, without them knowing hehe.

I know at lots of unis you are allowed visitors to stay overnight in your room... i hope this is the case here. Doubt he could afford to stay somewhere seperate! Any ideas how we could find out???

You can have people to stay, i know of some ppl who have their boyfriends down a lot, but as i don't live in the halls, i cannot say for certain. Take it as a provisional yes.

As an Ex-RVC student (don't ask...long story :frown:

) NO you are not allowed people to stay officially (it's in your contract..well it was when i was there :confused:

)

...however i had my b/f and mates down to stay with me more than a few times and some of my flatmate's even had their parents stay overnight! :eek:

So it is easily done in college grove! (sorry no idea about mary B)
(just don't let anyone official know :p:

)

Best of luck!

I know some unis are ok about it. My bf is at Warwick and I stayed with him a couple of times and the uni were fine as long as I was registered as being in the building for fire regulations etc.

How come nobodies putting intercollegiates as second! That's what I'm doing - Mary B is a complete rip off

nd i wanna be in self catering, i wud hate to have to go to a cafeteria to get all my food. what if i want to cook or bake at midnight?! which i often do wen i cnt sleep.

The problem with the interollegiate halls is that you are very isolated from the vet students and catered halls aren't all they are cracked up to be as it doesn't accomadate the funny hours vets do and also your kitchen facilities are very basic if you did want to cook something yourself

And also you never know if the food is to your liking so you may end up shopping for other food because you dont like the cooked food
