Hi there,
Here's an article from UCAS on general things to take to uni:
https://www.ucas.com/money-and-student-life/student-life/starting-university-or-college/list-absolutely-everything-you-need-take-university-or-college
And more specifically for photography, I would imagine there must be an essential kit list out there or one that you could request. But generally outside of key items like Laptop or Camera/Lenses (which could also be loaned from uni) I would suggest:
•
Notebook/Paper – writing (lined and plain)
•
Pens, pencils, highlighter pens
•
Memory sticks
•
SD cards for cameras (SanDisk & Lexar brands - 3-4 which have at least 32GB of memory)
•
Portable Hard drive (Brands: Iomega, Freecom, LaCie, Hitachi, Western Digital. Suggested size 1TB/2TB)
•
Camera bag/backpack that can take a knock and has a quick access function to your camera. (LowePro)
•
Hi-Vis waistcoat with 'PRESS' printed on the back. - It might help you blag your way into situations to get the shot you need.
