Im a girl who likes to have plenty of stuff! in halls it looks like theres a wardrobe and a couple of draws.
I figured i should take some more which are movable and easy to use to put my bits in there and can use the others for draws...

You can take them if you think you'll need them. Personally I would go without them at first and see how you get on. Uni rooms aren't very big or spacious so you don't really want to be filling the room up and making it cramped if you don't need the extra storage. And if you find you need them after a few weeks/months then there's no harm in getting some

[truechristian91]

you could but honestly, theres a lot of room in there and you are only there a few months

[Origami Bullets]

You might not have enough space for those. It will probably be best to wait until you get there to see if you have space / actually need them.

Have you thought about getting some underbed storage things? They might be a more effective use of space.

This.

They are very useful

I would wait until you get there, I'm in a similar position and am going to see what space I have and how much storage I need before I buy anything. Your stuff can always be piled neatly in a corner for the first couple of weeks until you get something to put it in.

I took something similar and found it very useful but my room was quite big. If you've not been to see your room I'd leave them at home and collect them later on as a lot of rooms in halls are too small for extra drawers

i took loads and got high

I'm a guy and I took a set of 4 draws similar to the one in the picture (without wheels) and they were pretty handy. Would have never fit all my stuff in the draws they provided.

Yeah im gna look nearer september! i was going to take some other draw things which has 2 deep draws that are wicker which i think will be pretty handy! i have so much stuff hahah
thanks!

[Kim-x]

I took other drawers but didn't really use them so I left them at home in second year. If you do want to take some, find ones that will fit under a desk as you may find there's little space to put them otherwise.

I would wait til you get there. I got a set of cheap, plastic drawers from Argos in the 2nd half of my first year, as I really needed more storage. But my space was pretty limited, so I'm glad I waited to get them.

If you think you need the extra storage then go for it! You can buy cheaper draws though e.g. http://direct.asda.com/ASDA-3-Drawer...efault,pd.html just have a shop around first!

Remember that your room is unlikely to be very big so space is essential!

I'm taking a clothes rail because the wardrobes are so small! (I'm going to bedfordshire btw but I don't think I've seen any decent sized wardrobes at any of the halls I've been to)

Anyway my mum picked it up for a tenner or something from some quirky little shop that may or may not have been closing down (can't remember!) and this is basically an exact copy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Habitat-sm...item25723680b3

Thats a genius i idea! My room is pretty bog so tey would be a good idea im moving to bristol so may wait till im there to defo see what i need an what i need to buy x

[Pippaaa]

i saw my room before i moved in and knew there wasn't enough drawer space - huge wardrobe but only normal desk drawers. i got one of those tall, narrow plastic units and used it as a bedside table as well as drawers for clothes etc and it worked well despite having a pretty small room

Yeah I thought so too! We have one in our house that my mum has always used for work (she used to make costumes for films and now she makes curtains) so I guess thats what gave her the idea. I really hope it fits.. if it's a little bit too big then I guess it'll be going back home again on moving in day and I'll just have to hang up my favourite stuff in the wardrobe and get a set of cheap plastic drawers for the every day stuff like jeans. It's really handy though because mine has wheels and the three bars at the base of it act as a shelf that you can put shoe boxes on so it's not a waste of floorspace at all!

Having said this... I have a feeling I won't actually be taking as many clothes as I think I will be because half my wardrobe is full of stuff that either doesn't fit me or that I'd probably never wear again lol I'm a bit of a hoarder! I find it really hard to part with stuff but I think I'd feel fine with leaving it at home.

Guys, it's not 'draws'.

'Drawers'.
