Arrivals weekend dates for university of Leeds & University of Cardiff

[TheStirrer]

Despite looking on the websites ( and having emailed them with no joy) I can’t see the arrivals weekend dates for Autumn 2023 for UK students going into halls.
We have an overseas wedding and need to work out if we can go - son obviously doesn’t want to rock up late and get the smallest cupboard in the kitchen! 🤣

It was mid-September for us, so I would anticipate around 16 September.

Remember, someone has to have the smallest cupboard in the kitchen!

Hi,

DD started at Leeds September just gone and our date for drop off was 17th Sept. IIRC, you are told the date by the university closer to the time, different halls have different dates I think, and then you have to choose your arrival time (three hour slot). TBF we were there far longer than our three hours but no-one said anything presumably because we picked the last one in the day so there was no one waiting for us to leave!

If I can offer you any advice it would be to pick the later slot. Car parking was horrendous by all accounts but had calmed down massively by the time we arrived.

If you look at the semester dates freshers arrival is generally a week before teaching starts.

Enrolment week at Cardiff is w/c 25 September this year.
