PC/laptop and a phone.... that's pretty much all you need. MP3 player is good if you need music to work too.

You don't really need gadgets, but you do need a laptop that won't break on you (unlike mine!). Get one that you know has lots of positive reviews (and not from PC world). Get a couple of USB sticks. Oh and a good student bank account, if that can count as a gadget :tongue:

A really awesome calculator - so that you can pretend you know what you're doing in the maths module.

•

1 good laptop

•

2 reasonably large memory sticks (4-8GB)

•

1 external hard drive - to store the masses of movies/tv shows you'll watch in your spare time

•

1 pair of 2.1 (atleast) speakers - i.e the ones with a sub and two satelite speakers - v. handy for hall parties :biggrin:

•

1 Phone - any will do, Android preferred

•

1 iPad - very good for storing PDF books instead of buying them (uni books are a rip-off)

•

1 Printer - there'll be a day when you thank yourself for buying a printer as you print off the last page of your 3000 word essay 7 minutes before the deadline

•

1 Swiss army knife w/ bottle opener - every student needs a bottle opener :wink:

•

1 Shoulder Bag

•

1 HDMI cable - so you can link your laptop to the communal TV to stream 'match-day' and 'movie night'

Spy camera's are a must. Put one in the kitchen above your allocated cupboard to catch the thieves, and maybe a waterproof one in the shower head if you have any hotties in your halls. Also, alarm clocks are good.

No idea why people would buy a laptop and Ipad, it should be Desktop and Ipad.

Some banks like natwest give student credit cards when you open a student account with them. Can be useful at times :tongue:

and helps to build your credit score up a bit.
