@Nimrah, you'll get your own individual room which is just yours, and then you'll be free to socialise in the communal living space in the flat with other students. You can also spend time in the other flats in your block too if you have more friends there!
4:54
We ask that you don't go in each others individual rooms, just so everyone has a quiet/chill space if they want some time away from the group

AvatarMolly

@Nimrah you'll need any toiletries that you'd usually use in a week, so be sure you've got anything you want with you

Do we get any free time in the day?
AvatarMolly
5:07
@Sadia you get breaks in between sessions, and one for lunch, but not 'free time' like you do in the evening. There's a breakdown of your free time on the programme that was included in your handbook.

how big do our suitcases need to be
AvatarJames
5:57
@Guest - that's entirely up to you! just make sure you have enough clothes for the 5 days! I have seen some students arrive with a small trolley suitcase, others with a large rucksack and some with a full size case big enough to house a family of 4!
Guest
5:58
Ok Thank you
AvatarJames

@guest just make sure you can carry it :)

@guest - Shauni helps all students with luggage on that first morning so if you struggle you can ask her to help!
