Fancy dress (mainly School Disco)

On the first day of uni, as a way for all freshers to socilaise there was a school disco themed party, but I brought nothing that resembled an outfit so I didn't go out of of feeling embarrassed/left out.

Anything else I forgot I probably at least had the time to go back home and get it or buy it further down the line.

Recipe books (I remembered, but few people do)

Don't you use the internet? :P

I wish I'd brought an extra computer screen to use for movies and stuff. I missed having a telly on in the background when I was writing essays.

Things you should've took to uni, but didn't.

In your case, a basic grasp of the English language.

These sound like silly things, but it's true....

-Tin foil and cling film
-Tupperware boxes [these and the cling film are essential if you don't want to waste food!]
-Baking tray
-Lined paper pads
-Bathroom cleaning products eg bleach
-Washing powder/liquid

Just basic everyday things you need but don't really think about. But don't worry if you forget stuff like this, I bought all of it as and when I needed it. Make a list of REALLY important stuff that you mustn't forget to avoid any real crises



Edit - school uniform fancy dress is probably a good idea too, just shirt and tie you know, there will ALWAYS be a school disco!!

Actually the ones in bold are a really good one, especially if you are sharing bathrooms!

In your case, some healthy manners.

A holdall and a printer. Got my printer in second year, but never did get a holdall. That realisation came too late. Instead I met my boyfriend's family for the first time with my giant pink suitcase that looked like I'd packed for two weeks, not a weekend.

I've heard that doorstops are good? I'm taking a clothes rail with me because the wardrobe is tiny..

[ballroombabe]

Doorstop is a really good idea - I use mine all the time!!

Erm.. also I would suggest DISTINCTIVE cutlery! I started the year with standard silver stuff and now have only one fork and two spoons left. I do, however, seem to have acquired a few extra knives than I arrived with so I guess it's not all bad

A doorstop (depending on your door)
A fold up clothes horse is a great idea, saves you money on the tumbledryer
