Joining a University is a pretty great deal. There’s a reason why everyone is telling you that University Life is going to be some of the best years of your life.
Right from deciding on a University to preparing for the same to choosing an ideal off-campus accommodation; starting off at University can be all super exciting and fun- until you think about everything that you need to buy and pack for your University stay!
And with it being the first time for most of the new students away from home, it is pretty confusing to decide on which items you need to pack, and which to leave behind!
But don’t worry, cause we’ve put together the ultimate checklist of EVERYTHING you need to pack, right from clothing and bedroom essentials to stationary and miscellaneous stuff, all without overpacking.
1. CARRY ALONG YOUR DOCUMENTS:
Though all these might seem boring, DO NOT forget to carry them along. Keep all the documents together in a safe and secure file.
2. CLOTHING ESSENTIALS:
Clothing is generally a NO-BRAINER! You would have most likely figured out which clothing items you want to take along with you. Even so, we have jotted down a few extra essentials that you might have forgotten about.
3. BEDROOM ESSENTIALS:
While most of the student accommodation only comes with a basic furnished bedroom which includes a bed, a bedside table, a study desk, and a chair, some student housing property does provide the students with extra bedding packages. However, you can never be sure about such things, and it is always better to be prepared! Also, do not forget to ask about your bed size!
4. KITCHEN ESSENTIALS:
Always check beforehand what your halls provide. Most of the kitchen area comes fully-stocked with a microwave, kettle and a toaster and some also do provide you with a bonus mini-fridge in your room! Also, check with your accommodation about what you’re allowed to bring and what all are not allowed.
5. ELECTRICAL ITEMS
This one’s pretty obvious! Or how else are you going to study and keep yourself updated in 2019?
BONUS TIP:
Apart from worrying about your essentials, if you are still struggling to find your ideal student housing; check out Amberstudent- for personalized and budget-friendly student accommodation.
So there you have it- a basic guide to the things that you might want to bring along with you, but don’t panic- you don’t need to buy them all right away. You can always stock them up from the shops nearby your accommodation right after you have arrived!
