12th August????

[ramfeild66]

Hey all, got my joining instructions today, kind of wished I had waited until now before I started organizing my halls. Word was we were supposed to be in halls by August 12th... does anybody know where that date came from? My course commences on the 3rd of September and I'd rather spend a couple of weeks earning at my hotel than wasting money and time in halls. I don't mind heading up a week earlier, but three seems a bit excessive. I've fired an email of to City of Glasgow halls of residence manager to alter my reservations, but does anybody know why the 12th was stipulated?

This seems odd, if its Warsash normally you arrive the day before college commences (eg the Sunday)... I would enquire with your college - bare in mind that there may be later phases (or different courses eg; HND/FD and Engineers etc.) starting around the same time as you, who will have different start dates.

Yeah, that's what I was figuring. I don't mind but I'd rather not pay for weeks of additional residence I will not be assuming but I wanted to get my name down as early as possible due to having to travel so far (all the way from Newquay, Cornwall) but my funds are getting stretched and if I can do a couple of extra weeks work it would be much better for me.

Like I said, I've sent an email as I only got their answer phone when I rang at 4pm (I work nights, so I'm not really up for other peoples working hours). I phoned Clyde and the course leader seemed to think it would be no problem to alter so it's no big issue but if I can stay at work for a few extra weeks it'll help my finances beautifully.

I got my joining instructions for phase 3, due to commence in September, last week from COGC. The dates on them were for the January intake and the rest was copied and pasted from the phase 1 instructions. Welcome to the Weeg!
