DD is off to GSA, but apart from hearing she has her preferred accommodation - not where - we have nothing else by way of what she might need in the way of dance stuff/books, no communication. She says she’s has nothing by way of emails etc.

Luckily we have most footwear in a mix of nude, black, pink but it all seems a bit laid back considering they’ve only got four weeks or so.

Maybe it’s just me!

I remember this being an issue when DS started. I emailed them for a kit list - they emailed me back to ask DS to email them due to GDPR. This is the email address Admissions@surrey.ac.uk

It seems pretty straight forward and luckily she’s been buying things gradually (plain black clothes mainly) as she had an idea of what she needed in advance. We are waiting to hear of a moving date, hopefully it won’t be much longer. She starts at the end of September, so still a while to go, but it would be nice to have a moving date so we can start planning.

Thank you for your suggestion l, she emailed and received the list by return.

I am curious to know if any dc’s have registered with a new gp practice when they moved out. I had a quick look and there’s a few that accept new patients, should we select one that’s within close proximity to the school? I was thinking there’s no point choosing one close to the halls address as she’ll only be there for one year. Does anyone in Sidcup have any experience/insight into which surgery to choose or not to choose? Thank you

When dd did a foundation course at Performers we enrolled her in a doctors as we thought that was the done thing. Then she moved to Wilkes to do the degree and this was Sept 2020 so during covid, we never bothered moving her doctors again (she’d gone back to her doctors at home after foundation finished) as appointments can be online so not really needed. The one time she needed more urgent care she called 111 and they told her to go to the urgent care at the hospital. My niece is currently at Bath Uni and none of them have moved doctors, if they have tonsilitis etc they ring 111 and get help. I don’t think moving doctors is needed as much now, it all seems a faff, but others could differ x

DD is off to GSA this weekend and there was an option on their website to register with a Dr. She didn’t click on it, but they obviously have something in place. It maybe because it is on a huge campus and have a practice there.

Could be worth checking with the college.

She just completed her first 2 weeks of training and couldn’t be happier! Some days are long and tiring but the course is everything she was hoping for and more! She had this feeling all along, but now knows for sure that this is definitely the right school for her
