What do I need to bring to university? Kitchen etc

Hello! I'll hopefully be studying at kings college london in September in self catered accommodation and I was just wondering what I should bring with me. Pots and pans? What kind of kitchen things? Bedroom things? I know the basics but I wondered if anyone had a proper list of things? Don't want to end up taking too much or too little! Thanks a lot :smile:

You shouldn't have to bring your own kitchen, but some utensils or small white goods might be handy.

Sunglasses for the hangovers. They are well worth it.

Don't take too much - you know what you use yourself. Although given that KCL is in London you will have plenty of opportunity to buy once you arrive...

Kitchen:

Bowls - take a few unless you're extremely fastidious at washing them up immediately
Mugs - ditto
2 x big plate & small plate
Small frying pan, big frying pan
A set of cutlery
Tray(s) for baking/roasting
Sharp knife
Spatula
Tin opener
Oven gloves
Dishcloths
I bought a folding wooden drying rack from IKEA - we are still using it in my final year flat.

Laundry basket
Clothes horse
Cloths for cleaning - and I would take sprays too as when I arrived in my uni room it was pretty dusty.

Bedding - make sure it's warm as uni accom is likely to be colder than you are used to at home.
Towels - I bought huge ones in my first few weeks as the journey to the shower was freezing.

Personal items for your room - posters, photos of your friends/family, fairy lights (uni rooms can be pretty sterile!), bedside lamp

Clothes to wear clubbing :wink:
