Hi guys im planning to transfer to chester uni in warrington, iv looked at the halls at warrington and they do not look nice, i was thinking to live in Liverpool or Manchester as they are better cites have many choices of halls to live for a cheap price, and they bouth are only 30mins train ride to the university. Is anyone else thinking to do this?

I just saw that someone else made one of these...but I made one as well! It's an excel spread sheet, each sheet is a different section. I included everything I though would be useful from the wiki page on here, as well as any suggestions on the thread. I may have missed some, or didn't think they were important. But, if you have anything you think I should add, just leave it in the comments!

PS Sorry, some of the things listed are using American terms, but if you want me to switch them let me know.
PPS What the hell is squash...I haven't been able to figure that term out. When I Google it all is get is the sport...

EDIT: forgot the link.... :facepalm:

Earplugs in case your next door flatmate:

a) has sex at all hours of day and night
b) plays the same depressing radiohead song over and over again on full volume until you're convinced they're using it to mask the sounds of the knife on their wrists
c) invites round a bunch of friends that giggle like 12 year old girls until about 3am (did I mention they were all guys?)
d) spends at least one night a week hurling their guts up in their sink VERY loudly

this made me lol so much :biggrin:

An extra bin for those hungover mornings when you just can't quite make it to the communal toilet..

definitely!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tea towels

Plastic cups... For when you have people over (maybe plastic shot glasses too?) or for when you're too lazy to do the washing up.

Also, a hip-flask. SO incredibly useful you can't even imagine.

A copy of FIFA. It's essential in any university halls.

Sorry if this question is very stupid. But do you have to have your own Tv to play FIFA?

Any game you're hoping to play on a console you'll need a visual display unit for such as a TV or monitor :smile:

A book with all the great recipes your mum or grandmother makes, cause at some point you will get bored of cheese toasties and beans and may have some money.

Laxatives incase one of your room mates is an idiot who constantly make noise, gets drunk ect. You can easily slip it into a glass of coke or make some Brownies and mix in a load of laxatives.
