Hi Simon
Thanks- yes I think her HEI will arrange for her to have some storage on
campus which she'll use whenever possible, it's just the additional
project-based work she needs to do at home (as she finds it difficult to
work on campus for long periods because of her physical problems) that
needs to be transported at times.

Though she struggles on public transport, walking is much worse. This combination of taxis and tubes appears to be the least worst method of travelling, but she can't transport her art/study materials this way.
