Bedding at Christs college Cambridge

Hi what should I send with my international undergrad kid for bedding at Christs? Is a mattress topper needed for comfort? Sheets? Pillow/pillow case? Any help appreciated thank you

Hi it’s usual to bring your own bedding to university in the Uk so pillow, duvet, plus covers and sheets. and I have bought my daughter a mattress topper also which I think is recommended but not essential.

https://www.christs.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/accommodation <- according to their website pillows and duvet are provided but sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases need to be brought with (also towels) :smile:

I imagine they might send some information about what to bring in advance (if not already?). Check spam folder in emails too!

Beds are usually single, but you could email the college to be sure if you can’t find that information on the website. There is a good department store, John Lewis, if you end up forgetting anything.

Also a Sainsbury's barely round the corner which has some sheets too that are probably a bit cheaper.
