Lol James, sometimes there is alcohol content in some products, likes desserts and chocolates like truffles etc.  It’s only obvious if you really look at ingredients, but I’m sure you will be but as you said no question is silly😀

I did indeed! I thought your original message was referring to us serving alcohol so apologies for the misinterpretation! No alcohol or associated products containing it will be provided on the event
Guest

Really looking forward to it!

I am currently taking Iron supplements, was I supposed to register it in the medication section?
AvatarJames Leslie
4:22

Guest

At the train station where will we find the vehicles giving us a lift?
AvatarJames Leslie
4:23
Our staff will be standing outside WHSmiths as you come through the ticket gates with a giant summer school banner - you wont be able to miss them
Guest

Would you advise including this Summer School attendance in our personal statement?
AvatarMolly
4:25
Yes indeedy - your personal statement is the place to talk about all the things you've done to get yourself university-ready, so a perfect place to talk about the RfE Summer School, and RfE in general :)

Are there plugs in the bathroom to charge electric toothbrushes?
AvatarJames Leslie
4:26
that is a really good question! and something I don't know - do you have the plug for it to go in a normal socket as we defo have those - let me check if the bathroom has a razor/toothbrush plug like you would find in UK hotels

Which day is the formal dinner? Is it on the Thursday night?
AvatarMeghan Clamp
4:27

AvatarJames Leslie

Hope to see you on the dance floor- might even sing to be honest!
Guest
4:28
Can I bring a small travel steamer for clothes?
AvatarJames Leslie
4:28
if that makes you happy :) The flats do have an iron and board in them which can be used in the communal areas
Guest

Will I get the change to have support with my personal statement during the summer school
AvatarMeghan Clamp
4:29
we run 1-1 personal statement appointments in september :)
Guest

Since I'm doing my ucat a week after the summer school, will I get support, advice and time to revise for my admission tests
AvatarMolly
4:30
There is an academic session on admissions tests which you should have seen in your choices booklet. Time to revise, not so much I'm afraid! But your free time is yours to do as you wish, so that will be your opportunity to revise if needed.

What if I don’t feel confident to dance and sing in public?
AvatarMeghan Clamp
4:31
we have a 'chill out' area at the dinner and dance venue if you don't want to take part in the dancing :)
Guest
4:32
What should you wear for the formal dinner on Thursday? i am confused if it is supposed to be a suite
AvatarMolly
4:32
Our theme this year is ‘Eurovision’! We’d suggest bringing something smart-casual, but this is your opportunity to dress up if you feel comfortable doing so! Some students will wear dresses/suits, others will wear shirts or blouses with jeans, but please wear whatever you like to wear – there’s no right or wrong.
Guest

Free time - Is there a pool table?
AvatarMolly
4:34
I'm afraid not, but we'll have plenty of board games and decks of cards etc for you to use in your flats/communal areas :)
AvatarJames Leslie
4:34
I will challenge you to a game at the Bowling Alley!
Guest
4:34
Is there a common room?
AvatarJames Leslie
4:35
We have kitchens and communal living areas in every flat :)
Guest
4:34
Whats the battle of the flats?
AvatarMeghan Clamp
4:35
Battle of the flats is our quiz evening! May the best flat win!
Guest
4:35
What time is best to arrive at the accommodation
AvatarMolly
4:35
Please read your handbook! Promise we don't put things like that together just for fun - they are useful too wink
AvatarJames Leslie
4:37
We don't know who asked this as you are all hiding names today but I have just found out that the bathrooms don't have a shaver/toothbrush plug like you have in UK hotels. Just bring the adapter to plug it into mains electric in your room :)
Guest
4:37
We won't be able to go into the city centre right?
AvatarJames Leslie
4:38
from the moment you sign in on day one we are then together as a group all week so no however we do visit Leeds City Centre on evening activities
Guest

AvatarMeghan Clamp
