Apologies if there is already a thread for Leeds starters but DS got his accommodation contract today (Central Village) and it says it starts on the 11th September. Does that mean he should go then or wait until the week after when we thought freshers week starts

So the 11th is a friday? Does Freshers start the following monday - so 3 days later? In which case move in the sat or sun? Remember he won't get his student loan until first day of term (normally).

If term isn't until the 21st I wouldn't move in until the weekend before.

My DD is planning on moving in on the Friday. Unimpressed by the greediness of expecting another week’s rent.

Sorry I meant the 12th not the 11th.
@Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies Do you mean Friday 18th?
It does seem a bit greedy!

Yes, I meant the 18th - it was a bit ambiguous.

Thank you! Think we’ll go for Sat 19th

My DD is also in Central Village and we are going up on 19th.

That’s good to know, thank you.
