Default Need Advice - What should I take?
 
I'm off to Jesus College, Oxford in October and I'm afraid that I will leave stuff out which I will need. Does anybody know if there is a generic "essential kit list" floating about anywhere online, or should I stop being a lazy git and just get on with it?

  3. change of underwear and socks;
  4. phone.
.. and at a pinch, (1) and (2) would do. (in other words, don't panic.)

Your college has a tradition of token gifts for people in their staircase so you should bring small symbols of wherever it is you come from e.g. Norfolk in my case, and give them to the 8 or so people you'll be living with. I think it's quite a nice one.

Thanks everybody, you've been really helpful as always. I especially like the second suggestion! The wiki page, however, was beyond helpful - it was a godsend.
