Ahoi!
So emails and phone calls didn't work, I went to harass the UCT
accommodation in person today.
General response is positive. The dates and rates for 2016 has not been
confirmed yet, but looks similar to 2015 (see attached). They can do
three meal catering - at least some catering will HAVE to be included as
part of the contract, but this suits us well, I think.
There will be no shared (family) accommodation available in July, so
we'll have to make other plans there. Graca Michel, if available, might
have two bed - rooms, but this is all not confirmed yet.
The residences are not exclusive if we don't fill them completely - they
have to run a business after all, but the security is good - the rooms
can lock, there is general access control at reception, and we have
general CPS - campus protection services patrolling campus. She also
said that July vac is not very busy. (December ... she just shook her head)
But, there is no alcohol allowed in the residence, so the flipside of
non-exclusive - risking drunkards, won't happen. I am not sure how
seriously this is enforced though. I am guessing that if we're low-key
about it and work in the rooms and don't cause trouble it may pass...
I made some more notes but like a fool didn't save the file (I should so
go back to just writing in a book, old school), so if I missed something
please ask and I'll either remember or find out.
Cheers
B
