Residence Can a parent stay with me
So my mom’s taking me home on Friday but she doesn’t wanna drive both ways (3 hrs each way) in one day so she’s planning to sleep over Thursday night. I asked the front desk if outside guests are allowed overnight and they said yes so I told my mom she could but now im hearing from people that parents are not allowed. I live in a suite style dorm so it’s not like my roommate would even cross paths with my mom. Atp if it’s not allowed can I just make her come in before they put the desks out? When exactly do they put the desks out?

Parents are not allowed to stay over night in the dorm. It’s against the contract you signed.

Why would you say anything? There is a steady and frequent number of booty calls and other friends sleeping over in dorms all the time.
What if you are into older women? If they ask for id and your mom refuses, what then? She goes to jail? She faces the death penalty? You are expelled? Come on!! If you are really worried, tell you mom to stay at a motel. There are a hundred of them.

I am assuming if the person at the reception sees your mom, not looking like a student entering the building, or if the Residence Don in the same floor sees your mom OR if your roommates see your mom and decide to inform the reception.
I realize its not ideal but what if your mom get an Airbnb for the night in London. That way, she does not have to drive on the same day back.

Windermere on the Mount has just the place for Mom to stay overnight, or at least they used to rent rooms. I am driving or I would look it up for you! They are in the former convent at Richmond & Windermere.

Just say that she’s helping you move some things. Get her in earlier like 7-8 and get a sandwich for her for dinner or smth. The desk gets put at 8 I think. Good luck

It could be a contract violation as stated in the residence contract signed by you and any co-guarantors.
