2.

Mattress protector

•

Pins to put your pictures up on your pinboard

1.

Budget planner/diary

3.

An airer that is easily stored

1.

Room decorations - these definitely help your room to feel like home!

2.

Your favourite mug, you can’t beat a brew out of your favourite mug!

3.

A screwdriver- as someone who built a lot of flat pack furniture in 3rd year, this was super helpful!

1.

A Good doorstop. I used a weighted rabbit with a bowler hat to keep my door open in freshers week so people could say hello. It was also a fun conversation starter.

2.

Pack of playing cards. Great for impromptu games nights, which are a fab way to bond with your new flatmates or coursemates.

3.

A good book or six. Now we're not talking textbooks - you can either buy those in advance or borrow them from the library as and when you need and want them. I mean a good few fiction books - its such a lovely way to relax at the end of a day when you've done working and socialising and need some quiet time. Its important to have a good wind down routine when you're somewhere as busy and exciting as uni!

1.

Laundry Basket (preferably with wheels)

2.

Rugs, pillows, pictures and room decorations to make my room more cozy and comfortable

3.

First-aid kit

•

Sliders/slippers to walk around in inside (kitchen/hall floors generally aren't the cleanest and doing laces every time you want to go somewhere is very annoying)

•

A laundry bag that's easy to carry and has a zip!

•

Cute decorations to make your room feel like home ie. fairy lights, plants, cushions and the most important one, a blanket for when it gets cold.

1.

Portable Speaker: Perfect for hanging out with friends, study sessions, or setting the mood in your room. Whether you're throwing a mini party or just chilling, or even for the shower!

2.

A Comfortable Mattress Topper: Accommodation mattresses can be hit or miss, my mattress topper made a huge difference and lasted me throughout my uni experience!

3.

Airfryer: I loved my air fryer and I had it throughout my three years, it was a huge hit with my flatmates! Plus you can get them super cheap. Or if you are a little bit of a snob like me, don't forget your coffee machine- lol!

•

Over door hangers

•

Sliders/Crocs/Slippers to where when walking around your flat

•

Any equipment relating to a hobby you want to continue at uni
