You’re a student. As long as you have the kitchen equipment to cook pasta, you’re golden.

 

Casual, going-out, and formal clothes

You want something comfy you can chill out in and go to uni, an outfit you can wear to work or placement, and clothes you can wear on a night out. Bonus points if you can integrate all three into one outfit!

 

Electronic devices

Obviously you will want your phone, so don't forget that! Your laptop/computer will also be necessary to complete your assignments. And don’t forget any chargers and cables you might need.

 

Stationery

Essential for taking notes in lectures or to make revision notes at home.

 

Food

Get stocked up on some healthy food you can cook meals from scratch with. Who are we kidding – you’ll get loads of frozen pizzas and crisps! And pasta. Lots and lots of pasta. 

 

Pins

Most student accommodation has pin boards, so you might find these useful.

 

Something to remind you of home

Whether it’s photos plastered all over your room, a stuffed toy, or a snuggly blanket, bring something to make you feel at home.
