What's the One Thing they don't tell you to pack...

Yep, definitely, you'll be surprised the number of school dress up nights there are!

Something to put dirty laundry in that is also portable so you can take it to the laundry room.

Small change - go to the bank and get £10 worth of 50ps, of 20ps, and of pound coins. 50ps are like golddust at my uni!

A lamp. Useful even if you are provided with one, then you can have one for your desk and one for near your bed. The main lights aren't often particularly bright.

Squash - in case you're coming from a hardwater place to softwater or vice versa and don't like the taste!

Mugs. Spare cups, plates, bowls, and cutlery - enough for 2-4 people - even if you are catered. Disposable cups are v. useful if you have people round for pre-drinks and you can get about 50 from a £1 shop. Also a small saucepan and a wooden spoon might be good for making pasta. And of course - washing up liquid, tea towel and dishcloth.

I'm going to take a mat/rug for my bathroom floor There's nothing worse than having to be carried out naked in front of all your flatmates after getting out of the shower, slipping and smashing your head on the toilet. Yes, I'm a hypochondriac and those bathrooms are so small

1. Don't take too much
2. Earplugs
3. Money

Honestly, that's all the advice I have. Take what's ESSENTIAL and will obviously sell out during freshers but anything else just chill about.
