•
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
•
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
•
1 Shoulder Bag
•
1 HDMI cable - so you can link your laptop to the communal TV to stream 'match-day' and 'movie night'
1.
Alarm clock
2.
A decent, inexpensive laptop/desktop

A cheap phone/ Substitute alarm clock
4.
A Livescribe Pen. Ridiculously handy little things, especially if you're forgetful or painfully slow when you're taking notes in lectures,
5.
An MP3 with the option to record, just in case your pen runs out of battery
6.
A decent pair of headphones. Good for watching films at 3AM!
7.
A printer for your room. Don't rely on library printers when you're printing off that essay due in half an hour. It *will* break down!
8.
If you're doing a Literature course, Kindles are surprisingly useful, since most classical literature can be downloaded for free.
9.
Pendrive(s). Some people only need one. People like me, who'd lose their head if it wasn't screwed on, need at least three.
10.
External harddrives. If you have one laptop/desktop throughout your studies in university and it doesn't break down once, then you are *very* lucky indeed.
