Half the clothes I took to uni i didnt ever wear. Nights out (in brighton) are not places where you wear chinos and smart shoes (for a guy)
The whole clothing thing is ridiculous, I promise you by about 2 weeks in, you wont care what you wear on a day to day basis. Wore that hoodie yesterday? Oh well... never mind.
Dinner plates and dinner sets. You need 2 bowls, 2 plates, 2 sets of knives and forks, 3 mugs, a glass, and a wine / pint glass (or both). You dont need 6 of everything. 2 saves you washing up, 6 makes you lazy and your flatmates will hate you for leaving your **** everywhere.
Fancy dress - buy nerd glasses from primark. They work with almost every dress up you can think of.
