    Moving Into University Accomodation? - Here's Some Awesome Advice
    Hey everyone! As I've been there done that got the t-shirt and everything I saw this really cool post on Twitter that showed some ideas on kitting our your halls when you first move in which can be found here.

    When I first moved into uni halls I re-adjusted my room about 3/ 4 times throughout the year so this article might be a cool inspiration provider for when you actually move in rather than living out of boxes for a month like I did.

    Another great tip - some buddies of mine invested in disposable kitchenware. If you're not a fan of making mess and cleaning it's great for the first month. Feel free to try it out haha! Of course if you've got any other suggestions just add them to this thread. Have fun everyone who is going to uni this year for the first time. You'll bloody love it!

    Hi everyone! COngrats to everyone that's just got into Uni, great job.
    I'm currently at Queen's Belfast in my second year, and I run a blog about all things Uni related.
    My blog, Uni Lass,http://unilass.blogspot.co.uk/2012/0...ni-part-1.html, has a few lists on What to take to Uni. There's absolutely loads on tsr but do have a look, I think I got through quite a lot and you might find it useful. www.unilass.blogspot.com x
