Can i return to my student house?

[helpastudentout]

I've included the government guidelines below.

I consider my student house my home as much as I do my parents house. Throughout the year I spend more time living there, I'm registered with a GP there ect and I consider it my home, at least until my tenancy ends and then I will move into the house I have organised for next year which will then become my home.

I returned to my parents home at the beginning of lockdown as advised by my university. However as lockdown continues I am finding being here increasingly frustrating. My parents and I clash frequently; partly as I am used to living independently and they can not adjust to not treating me as a child. Plus I am into the final sprint of my exams/coursework and have no proper space to work at home and my parents can't seem to understand leaving me alone when I say I'm working or knocking before they enter my room.

Can I move back into my student house permanently, making it my primary residence? I do not plan to just go until the end of my exams but also stay living there afterwards. It is not to a rural location with limited services but a big city with multiple hospitals and plenty of amenities and resources. There is no officially guidance on this on the government website although it does say we can move house (also shown below).

So wise people of MN, what do you think?

Who else is living in that house at the moment?

I think you could now if you would be there alone or, if joining others, you should self-isolate for 14 days before joining a new household

One boy (it's a four bedroom house, the two others returned home and have no plans to go back thus far). I have spoken to him and he is happy for me to come back, as soon as possibly really, says he could use the company.

I could self isolate at home for 14 days, difficult to isolate within the house as we only have one bathroom ect. But is this really necessary now that we are allowed to meet in groups of up to 6? No one in my current household or anyone we have seen are showing any symptoms.

In theory, we can only meet groups of six outside and socially distancing

If I were you in the circumstances you describe then I’d probably go.

Just do it. Apart from anything else it's crazy for you to be paying rent if you aren't able to access it.

You can move to a new home/household

I would say go back if you want to and keep your distance from the other person for first couple of weeks to be on safe side.

Slightly different but my son boards at college. When he went back he self isolated in another house for 2 weeks.
