How many shoes should we bring with us

Molly

4:39

Depends how many you'd normally wear in a week! I will probably bring some trainers and some sandals (although I don't think the weather will be on my side for the sandals unfortunately!)

Guest

What is the enterprise challenge?

Meghan Clamp

4:42

this is our business day! very much like the apprentice/dragons den you'll be designing your own product in teams!

Guest

4:42

Meghan Clamp

yes, this is dedicated time for you to prep and plan for your showcase presentation at the end of the week

Guest

With the dine and Bowl and the formal dinner - will it be buffet style or do we choose from a menu?

Molly

That one's a set menu, so no choice, but all dietary requirements have been catered for :)

Guest

Guest

Hi on the form where it said transportation, I put that I was going to make my own way there but I was wondering if I can get a coach?

Molly

4:44

Yep you can change if needed to either meet us at Bradford Interchange or Leeds Train Station, but you MUST email us to let us know before the end of the week please

Guest

4:43

Meghan Clamp

4:44

The Give it a Go afternoon is where students will either go to Herd Farm, Clip n Climb or Lotherton Hall, which you selected on your choices form

Okay that’s fine I will email you, thanks

Guest

do bedrooms have locks?

Meghan Clamp

4:46

yes

Guest

4:46

Will we be given flat keys?

Molly

4:47

Yep you'll get a key to your room and a fob that will let you in to your flat and your block

Guest

4:48

Will you be emailing us with all these questions and answers?

Molly

4:48

No, but the link to this chat will stay open so you can still see the answers

Guest

4:49

How are we you split into flats?

Molly

4:50

I have used the preferences you stated on your choices form, so you should have one person that you know in your flat with you. As you are under 18, we are bound by the NSPCC and government guidelines that state our accommodation needs to be separated by gender, so male and female students will not be sharing accommodation. 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.

Guest

4:50

are there washing machines?

Molly

4:50

No, you need to bring enough clothes for the full week

Guest

4:53

Are there hangers in wardrobes?

Molly

4:53

Not typically, no

Guest

4:53

when I filled in my form, I didn’t know anyone else going from my sixth form but do now, I’m just wondering whether you would have maybe looked at students from the same college/sixth form when allocating?

Molly

4:54

No, I just used your preferences I'm afraid. I wouldn't worry too much, as you don't spend a huge amount of time in flat groups during the week and can socialise with whoever you like

Guest

4:54

Will the flats have WiFi ?

Molly

4:54

We do have some short-term log-ons for you to connect to Wi-Fi at certain venues and times on campus, and the accommodation also has good 4G connection. You will not be able to connect to WiFi consistently throughout the week.

Guest

4:57

Thanks for answering all our questions, it’s been a really helpful session,

Molly

5:05

We're glad it's been handy for you!
