Accommodation facilities - What do I need to buy?

Hi,

As standard most things such as pots, pans, cutlery etc are NOT provided. Electronics such as microwaves, toasters and kettles are provided as standard. A bedding pack can be purchased as you complete your induction/registration for accommodation however, you should note that this takes £20 out of your deposit.

Here's a standard list, broken down into rooms that I found to be useful.
Bedroom area
- Bedding (Duvet, Pillows etc) - a mattress protector may be provided.
- A lamp/fairy lights (OPTIONAL - if you like to read in the dark)
- Cushions (because why not)
- Alarm clock - unless you use your phone

Desk
(you will have two shelves above your desk - under which is a reading light which is bright)
- A laptop or desktop computer
- A printer (very helpful - it costs money to print at the LRC's)
- Enough stationary to last you the year :P

Kitchen Space
- The usual > Pots, Pans, Cutlery, Plates, Bowls etc
- Any cleaning bits and bobs
- Mugs and Glasses (pretty essential for university)
- Food

Bathroom
- AT LEAST two towels
- Bathmat (because of the showers)
- Toiletries
(the usual bits and bobs from the bathroom)

If you google what to bring to uni, there are brilliant lists written by different people - my favorite is on Save The Student.

Hope this helps and welcome to the University of Hertfordshire!
