I am not a subscriber either and I can read the link. Maybe type 'what to pack for Uni Telegraph' into Google instead?

Everybody gets a few free views per month. But not many. After that access is blocked. In effect users are spamming for a subscriber service. Plus very few people can see what their post is about.

Well it is possible that some users are at uni or other places which are in fact subscribers. There may be other exceptions. But the OP didnt seem to like the truth being pointed out.


I'm not a subscriber :smile:

There's no need to be so incredibly rude - obviously they didn't realise this and posted it out of good will.

And everyone apart from you has had no trouble accessing it. It's a really helpful article and there's no problem with it.


Thank you :smile:

Well I shall continue posting until I am told to become a subscriber :smile:

Enjoy all :smile:
That list is bull****, you won't even need a third of that.


Clothes, stationary, electronics (pc, phone, tablet), a plate, a mug, a cup some a fork a knife, a big and small spoon. Some bed linen, if you need a duvet buy it when you get there, shoes, toiletries and some pictures for home comfort if your if you're into that.

That's it. You don't need a removal vans worth like the article suggests.
These what to bring to university lists are always dumb as **** I agree, I brought way too much stuff to university in terms of books that I never read and clothes that I haven't worn for many years, games that I never play thinking that I had to bring absolutely everything with me for some strange reason. Now it's going to be a pain shipping it all back home.
I don't think it's a 'bring everything on this list' guide. Its just naming what you may need... :smile:

I'll be talking my George Forman and my blender, don't think that was on the list? :P
