Enjoy university! Fox’s Pacier Sprints can help you move out for the first time.

Living Costs and Budgeting

One of the most important things to consider when you first move out is living costs and budgeting. If you are a student without a part-time job, budgeting is essential. When you move out, there will be additional costs you may not have previously had to consider, like; utility bills, rent, food, public transport etc. Therefore, make sure you have the money to cover these things as well as the money to enjoy yourself! Create a plan before you move, this way you won’t get into debt and will know if you need to get a part-time job.

Change Your Address

After moving out, one of the most important things to do is register at a new doctor and dental practice. If you have moved far away from home, you must also remember to redirect any important mail. If you have moved to a different country – you may potentially need to open a new bank account. You will also need to ensure that you register as being a resident of your flat in order to access and be able to pay your utility bills. Also, you will need to find a contract for broadband. Moving into halls of residence? You don’t need to consider utility and internet – they will be included.

Get to Know Your Local Area

Our final piece of advice when it comes to how to plan to move out of your parent’s house is to get to know your new local area. If the city you have moved to is smaller and is considered a “university town,” there will lots of students and so probably easier to find your way around. However, if you have moved to a larger city where there are multiple universities; spend time to get to know your flatmates and look on your university website for advice. If you are nervous about how to reach your new university/college, practice the route a couple of times before you go. Everything will fall into place once you are settled in and don’t be afraid to ask those around you and the university for help!
