Hi,

im looking for the dates that students usually move in to these unis. Just so I can plan ahead for holidays etc. All the offers say that term starts on 23rd September 24, but I assume they have freshers week before?

If any of your DC go to any of these unis, when did they actually move into their uni accommodation? Obviously things can change and dates won’t be exact at this stage but i am just trying to get a rough idea.

Thank you!

DS in third year at Aber. His first year arrival was 23rd Sep, I think his Freshers then started on the Friday and proper course from the first Monday in October.

My DS moved into Exeter the weekend of 16th September so the weekend before term started . He had a choice of move in dates into his accommodation with most moving in ahead of term start for freshers week.

For Exeter there will be freshers week beforehand so if term starts 23rd September your YP would be moving into uni halls weekend of 14th/15th.

My DS moved into Aberystwyth on 22nd September this year. Freshers events started that weekend and over the following week, with some course contact during that week as well, then 'proper' lectures started week beg 02/10 I think.
