We'd suggest that you move in up to a week before your course starts, so that you can get properly settled in – but you can move in at any time. Just arrange it with the managers.

Lunch: During the week, lunch toppings and snacks are provided at breakfast time so that you can make yourself a cut lunch to take with you.

Yes - as safe as it can be. All of the exterior doors are locked each evening. You will have keys to your door and your block, so you won't be locked out - or in.
