Find out where you can park on arrivals day for Vanbrugh College.
Undergraduate arrivals information
New undergraduate students living on campus will move into Vanbrugh on Saturday 16 September for Fairfax House residents, and Sunday 17 September for all other residents.
When you accept your accommodation offer you will be directed to book an arrival slot. Please try to arrive within that slot to help with congestion.
Please park in the following car park on arrival and then collect your keys, student card and other information:
- Fairfax House residents: Fairfax House Car Park located around Fairfax House
- All other residents: Car Park C (2.2) or Vanbrugh College Car Park (2.5) for those requiring disabled access
Once you have your keys you can then return to your car to either begin unloading your belongings or to move your car to a temporary drop off point closer to your accommodation block.
Our Second and Third Year Contacts (STYCs) will be on hand to help you carry your belongings and show you which accommodation block is yours.
If you wish to stay longer after unloading your belongings, you can move your car to the Campus North Car Park for long stay parking.
