Does anyone have a list of thing to bring to uni

1.

Airer - can help you save money on drying your clothes.

2.

Extension cord - some student accommodations don't offer many plug sockets.

3.

Storage/organisers - not strictly necessary but very useful for keeping on top of your belongings.

•

Big laundry bags. I used them to store my spare bedsheets and towels under my bed rather than in boxes so that I could squish them to make sure they definitely fit under my bed.

•

Multi-peg hanger. I used this to dry my socks so that they didn't take up loads of space on my airer because I often did big loads of washing so wouldn't have space for all my socks too.

•

Eye mask. This wasn't so much of an issue for me but a couple of my friends had lights right outside their window and their blinds didn't really block it out so they'd wear an eye mask while they were sleeping.

•

Decorations. Moving away to university is a scary time so make your room feel a bit more homey with some decorations. This could be anything from plants, to photos, to fairy lights.

•

Lamp. A lot of the lights in halls are quite bright so bring a lamp so that you don't have to have the big light on all the time.

•

Hangers. You won't get hangers in your room and this is commonly forgotten so make sure you have hangers.

•

A laundry bag/ basket to take laundry down to the laundry room and back up to your room. A big bag with handles like an IKEA bag is usually quite good as it holds lots of things and it is easier to carry than a laundry basket might be.

•

Tupperware boxes are good if you think you might be cooking in bulk - or even if you just cook a spaghetti bolognaise and you want to freeze an extra portion as it can be tricky cooking for just one person and you will likely end up with extra portions some of the time.

•

If your bed has storage underneath, take boxes that will fit under for extra storage room as there isn't usually much storage in halls.

•

Photos to make your room feel more homely.

•

Headphones will be useful in your halls, at uni and just generally walking around/ on public transport.

•

Shoes that you don't mind going out in if you like going out as they will likely get dirty, especially after freshers week.

•

Similarly, a jacket to take on nights out as you will probably be walking to and from bars/clubs if you are close enough and it can get cold. A jumper is good as you can tie is around your waist rather than waiting for the cloakroom which can be very long.
