Heading off to uni is exciting, but knowing what to pack can be a little elusive. From bedroom essentials to kitchen gear, it’s easy to forget essential bits and pieces. To make life a little easier, here is a list of (almost) EVERYTHING you might need to bring with you when you first move to university (you definitely won’t need absolutely everything):

Bedroom

Your room is where you’ll spend a lot of time, so making it a comfortable place to chill is something worth investing in.

Clothes

Pack for all occasions: Lectures, Nights Out, Lazy Days, Gym, Sports, Job Interviews and for when Halloween inevitably comes around, even some fancy dress.

Bathroom

Don’t forget the basics, and if you’re in shared bathrooms, something quick for your feet is essential:

Kitchen

If you’re not self catered, there’s definitely a few things you won’t need to worry about from this list.

Study

Here’s the essentials for lectures and revision.

Miscellaneous

Here’s a couple more bits you’ll thank yourself for bringing.

Don’t stress if you forget something, that first trip to the shop once you realise you’ve forgotten 20 things is a rite of passage anyway. Start with the essentials, and you’ll be ready to enjoy uni life from day one.
