I think I'm getting a rail when I move into my new house because I have like two wardrobes worth of clothes.


Yeah go for it
I would like a rail but it will stay at Uni because i cannot bring it back.
I wasn't worried about what clothes to bring till I saw this thread :eek: I need to go clothes shopping!

By November, you'll all be rotating two pairs of jeans and filthy stash.
Wow. Never knew women had such a hard time with clothes and shoes.

There I was thinking if it's viable to live in jogging bottoms and onesies...
Whew, now I'm desperate to go shopping! Just wondering, then, what sort of clothing is appropriate for Hertfordshire area? If anyone knows, that would be awesome. I live in china right now, and have no idea what sort of clothing I can get by with....ob vs a winter coat towards the end of first term, but for fall can I get away with jeans and a sweater?

If you mean hertfordshire in london
Winter n autumn are cold so as long you got a jacket it's fine

Summer tends to be scorching july/august

Definitely october gets Chilli.

September ranges, i know september becomes rainy then towards the end it gets so cold [2012/2013].
Sometimes early september is really hot and it only starts getting cold towards the end. [2011]

Too much is not something you should ask us. You should know if you will actually wear any of it. Unless you just decided as statistics what you would like to take..

well then because your clothes are all specific it seems enough but cut 20blouses to 5 lol

wow so little. But understandable because it is similar to me

Okay it does look like a silly question, but when I move out I need to take clothes that im actually going to wear.

So girls. How much clothes do you wear/use in 3-6 months this includes shoes. Have you ever repeated an outfit etc. You will be great help to me. If I take my whole wardrobe I am going to need a huge suitcase.


Here's a tip of something I do that has helped me in the past. Go to your wardrobe and align all the hangers facing one way. When you wear something and go to put it back, put the hanger back the opposite way. That way you can actually see what clothes you wear regularly and which ones you don't. Take the clothes you wear often to uni. Simples :wink:

I'm probably going to take the stuff I know I wear a lot, then take advantage of the student discounts and loan money :biggrin::biggrin:
In saying that, I'm only moving half an hour away from where I live now, so if I run out of clothes it's just a half hour bus drive to the mother's to get more haha (if my little sister doesn't pinch them all when I'm gone...) :rolleyes:

Some freshers events will have a fancy dress element to them. Pirates,school disco, animals etc? Also some bar crawls and obvious events like Halloween it's cool to have a costume. I'm not sure about societies, but if you join any sports team, you will go out on socials where you will for sure have to wear some sort of fancy dress. Sometimes student union nights are cheap themed nights, that you'll most likely want to go to. it's nice around xmas time to :wink:

Trust me you'll make friends! If I advise you of anything it's this. DO NOT stay in your room by yourself all the time. As long as you are willing to talk to people you'll be okay :wink: Also in 1st year, this is the time you get to go out and do things. The work load is at it's lightest and you have the most spare time. So go out and do things and meet people! Join societies/clubs and meet people you have a common interest with. It makes the experience far better trust me.
