5 Essentials That Must Be on your Packing List for University
Our removals team can help your move to university!
ID and Documents
You must remember any important documents when you move away to university. Make paper and digital copies, just for the purpose of safety. Remember to bring;
- Passport or driving license
- Acceptance letter for the university – potentially needed for matriculation
- Student finance documentation – in the case for Scottish students, these are letters from SAAS
- National Insurance information – you will need this when applying for any part-time jobs and filling out important documents
- Any letters from your accommodation
Bedroom Essentials
There are a lot of extra items people like to bring when they leave home – for decoration, comfort and to make their halls of residence more like home. But think of the essentials first. These should be on your packing list for university;
- A duvet and pillows
- Hangers
- A doorstop – keeping your door open will encourage more conversation between you and your new flatmates, this way you will easily make friends!
- Ear plugs – you are more than likely going to be living in student accommodation, which will be loud! Ear plugs will come in handy when you have early morning lectures.
- First aid kit – a first aid kit will end up being your saviour, even though you may not think it’s important. Put it on your packing list, fill it with medical essentials, and pack it away with you!
Bathroom Essentials
As for your bathroom essentials, there are a couple of things you must include in your packing list for university;
- A laundry basket or bag – something you can easily carry to your washing machine
- Bath mats, towels and hand towels – it is worthwhile to stock up on towels!
Electrical Essentials
Though you may not consider electrical items to be essentials, you may want to invest in some new equipment to prepare you for life in academia;
- A laptop – many companies (Apple, HP etc.) offer student discount
- External hard drive/USB memory stick – so your university work never goes missing!
- Extension leads – very useful as your room will most likely only have a few outlets.
