Anyone know when the official freshers week is? And if you book a slot to move in?

DC has the halls that seem to have a week earlier contract date. No interest in any unofficial freshers and clubs - just needs SU/Halls stuff really and to be there ready to make friends.

Not clear from website which week is freshers and SU have a countdown but no dates.

DD going to Manchester Met and freshers week is 13th September

Welcome week at the University of Manchester starts on September 20th.

@godwingolly is your DD in a residence used by both universities? Most contracts only start just in advance of the university's welcome week

She’s been told it’s 13th for freshers as well and she’ll be sent a slot. That was in a disabled students induction.

Thanks for the responses

For Manchester Met, DD received an email on Thursday, asking her to creat a login for her accommodation account. She then read lots of info about registering for internet, doctors and dentist and to chose a slot for booking into Oxford Court

My dc is going to Manchester next year (applied deferred) but has friends going this year from (I think) 13 sept - there seems to be subject orientation and also freshers things.

My DS is off to MoU shortly too. My understanding is that w/c 13th is online induction and w/c 20th is the welcome week - UoM's name for Freshers. That makes sense as he has a geography field trip next Weds/Fri, which is part of his course and the earliest moving in date they gave him was 16th. So we're planning on the basis that he moves in on Sat 18th ready for Freshers to start on the 20th.

DSD is going to Manchester Uni and had a choice of moving in slots on the 16th/ 17th (poss 18th too) for her Halls in Fallowfield. She's going on Fri 17th.
