In short

  • Check what your accommodation provides before you buy.
  • Pack clothes for all seasons, or plan to swap at holidays.
  • Bring the documents you need to register.
  • Label your kitchen things.

Accommodation varies a lot: some provide bedding and kitchen packs, some don’t. Check first, and share bigger items with flatmates.

Tips

  • Pack in soft bags: easier to store than suitcases.
  • Bring a few photos and things that make the room feel like home.
  • Wait to buy course books until you know you need them.

Questions

Extension leads, doorstops, hangers and a first aid kit are some of the most forgotten.

Take what you’ll wear this term, and swap seasonal clothes at the holidays.
