ChecklistBedding

Clothes hangers

Cleaning products (laundry detergent washing-up liquid)

Toiletries Toilet paper

Towels

Crockery cutlery pots pans and kitchen gadgets to satisfy your culinary inclinations

Portable personal electronic and IT equipment

Important documents like your ID passport any official documents pertaining to your course fundingenrolment etc

And if you still have room you may consider packing

Photos of friends and family

Smart clothesmdashfor fresherrsquos balls and job interviews

City map

An umbrella (this is a necessity)

What not to bring

Leaving aside the obvious (including family pets) the following items are not allowed

bull Anything involving naked flame and smoke such as candleshookah pipes incense burners fairy lights and barbecues bull E-cigarette chargers bull Large items of furniture and electrical appliances bull With the exception of mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs for disabled users please donrsquot bring a car moped motorbike quad bike articulated lorry or any other motor vehicle

Yoursquore only going to be here for a year or two and when you move out someone else will move in So although itrsquos very tempting to try to recreate your room at home there are some things to bear in mind

1 Space in your room will be limited so leave chairs tables desks fridges and wardrobes at home Itrsquoll be limited in your wardrobe too so you will probably struggle to fit in your entire shoe collection And because drying clothes causes condensation (and ultimately mould) in rooms please donrsquot bring a clothes drying rack There are dryers in every residence

2 Wall decorations stay well past your residency so donrsquot go all 60-Minute Makeover on us and start redecorating - that means not attaching anything to the walls including Blu-Tac tape and pins because walls with holes and patches of chipped paint are an eyesore for whoever is next in your room Remember that you are responsible for all damage costs when you do move out

A word of warning Some rooms have aerial sockets however you are required to purchase your own TV and TV licence Please note that wall-mounting of TVs is not permitted

If yoursquore moving into a flat with a shared kitchen you may want to think about what items you would be happy sharing with your new flatmates This will help you to build a relationship with your new friends and to ensure you donrsquot end up with 7 kettles in the one kitchen
