@MrsBartlet @CointreauVersial I'm pleased everything went well for you, our day went pretty smoothly too. There was a lovely vibe around the main square and the campus looked lovely in the glorious sunshine. Everyone was super helpful and seemed really happy to be there.
DD is in Barton and once we had collected keys, which only took a couple of minutes, we headed to the car. We were met by some lovely students with a big trolley/cage who helped us move everything to DD's room at once, no need for multiple trips back and forth to the car which was brilliant. We then collected her freshers wristband from the Hive in the SU building, again very organised and trouble free. There is a huge brutish heart foundation stall in the same building until Wednesday selling crockery, cutlery, saucepans and anything in between so if you do forget something pop along there and pick up a bargain.
Her room was clean and there was plenty of storage space for all her stuff. No desk lamp in her room but a desk light under the bookshelves. There is a recycling bin under the desk but we added another to that for general waste. We packed an extension lead but it's come home with me as there were two double sockets on the desk and one double above the bed. The wardrobe had a full length hanging rail with a shelf over and another storage space at the bottom. You do need to take hangers as none were provided. Also there is no shaver point in the en-suite in case anyone needs one of those.
The kitchen storage is ok; a fridge shelf and freezer drawer each but the cupboard space is very limited so only take what they will need. I don't know where they are going to prep their food, the worksurface is covered in 12 bottles of fairy liquid, 3 kettles, 4 toasters a steamer and a George Foreman grill 😂
It was really difficult to say goodbye but she seems happy and excited to meet everyone and get started so I can't ask for more than that.
Good luck to everyone for tomorrow.
