Move-in Sunday is fast approaching and with that in mind we want to prepare you for what’s going to happen when you arrive!
For students moving into campus accommodation, Sunday 15th is going to be a big day. Keys to your rooms can be collected between 8 am – 8pm in the Wilfred Brown building, located next to the main car park on campus. This will be your first stop when you arrive and will be your first chance to meet us, your Residences Ambassadors! This will be the first year on the job for the majority of us and we’re really looking forward to meeting you all. We’ll be situated in the Wilfred Brown building all day, welcoming you to Brunel, handing out parking permits and answering any questions you might have. You’ll also find some of us at other points around campus throughout the day to help you through this big move.
When you receive your keys, you’ll also receive a free wristband in the same envelope. This will have the name of the complex you’ll be moving into and is a great way to find people who live near you!
Large Trolleys will be available to hire for an hour at a time, to help you move your heavy boxes and belongings. There will be a £20 deposit for each trolley and this will be refunded once you return the trolley to one of the three points across campus.
So what’s going on on-campus? This year is our biggest move-in day to date. We’ve really upped the ante since last year and turned the day into a huge event across campus! There’ll be everything from live music to street food, games and more so make sure you make the most of all that’s going on and meet lots of new like-minded people.
Finally, this week we’re busy delivering care packages to each of your rooms ready for you on Sunday! These boxes will be packed with useful things you might need during your first week while you find your feet. We hope you are looking forward to moving in and don’t forget to contact us if you have any questions!
Our top tips for moving in:
- Keep your registration documents at the top of your luggage so they are easy to access when you need them.
- Introduce yourself to your flat mates and create a group chat if you haven’t already done so. This way you can easily find out what Welcome Week activities everyone is planning to go to on campus and you can all go together.
- Come along to RA’s Live on Monday and Tuesday in Lecture Centre 068, to learn all about living in halls and ask any questions you might have. This is a great chance to meet the Residences Ambassadors assigned to your hall for the first time and meet other people who will be living with you if you haven’t met them already.
