Hey guys,

We were told to buy knifes, bowls and the usual cutlery and kitchen stuff. Now i am off to a self catering hall...so where do i stock them?....do i have to keep them in my room and bring them down every time i go to the kitchen?

Usually theres cupboard/drawer space in the kitchen itself for people to share and use. Some unis give a locked cupboard to each person, some don't. Depends on your uni. You could choose to keep it in your room if you like.

I kept all that in the kitchen. Had two cupboards and two drawers. Nobody I knew kept it in thier room. Only kept my blender in my room as it wouldn't fit in the cupboard and took up too much space. Only used it occasionally. Would drive me insane to have to bring stuff from my room several times a day.

keep it in the kitchen, if it starts to disappear then keep it in your room.

I think it also depends where your going to eat the food - things like cutlery might be ok to keep in your room if your always going to take the food back to the room to eat it.

I remember in 1st year i used to keep all my pots and pans in my room, because no one ever the locked the kitchen and things started going missing... we had a tiny locker each which could barely fit much food in!

For freshers week this adorable geek moved in, he was terrified of me for some reason... but he used to keep all his food and cutlery and plates in his room. Everytime he came to the kitchen he'd come out with a bowl of stuff, lock his room, put it in the kitchen, unlock his room bring out more... lol and he had little laminated sheets his mum had made with things like:

BAKED BEANS, SAUSAGE and POTATOS

1) put the beans in a pan
2) turn on heat
3) let them warm DONT BOIL!!!
4) if you buy chips from the shop... don't cook the potatos aswell!

Poor thing :frown:

Simply the best plan is to trust fellow flatmates/sharing people, and keep it in the kitchen initially - if you notice things going missing then move it to your room. Its the best way.
