I'm sure there will be quite a few people, most are just probably not on TSR.

Which accommodation are you going to be in? We're moving my daughter into Brook Street on Sunday afternoon.

Hello again, sorry for bothering you but I have some questions regarding getting ready for uni, I'd be happy if you could respond, because I need answers from another applicant.
Which documents did you prepare for enrolment, if your daughter is doing it locally at uni?
And have you applied for student finance, if so, how did you do it, or should I wait for enrolment.
Thank you again, and sorry if I'm bothering you

Hi, her student finance was applied for and approved months ago. It's much better to do it in advance, but if you haven't done it yet, then get it done as soon as possible.

She's taking her student finance letter with her, and her passport.

They also ask to see your previous qualification certificates (in her case A Level certificates) but she never actually received them so she's going to have to explain to the office and then contact her old sixth form college to ask why they never sent out her certificates. I hope there's no major problem there, but I think it'll be okay.

There were a few things to do online for enrolment, like some forms online to fill in so you can access your student email address and so on, but then you also have to go to the office at the university itself in person to complete enrolment. You should have had some emails about this.

Thank you for your response, I think I borrowed all required documents, I'll talk tomorrow to someone about student finance and do more research today. I already moved in, I hope if I meet your daughter we will become friends, it's better to spend university time with great people, have a great day!
