Things to Bring!

You should probably bring:

  • Pots and pans - just a few, but enough to cook with. You'll probably end up sharing.
  • ID. ID, ID, ID. Even if you've never had a problem. Even if you're a pensioner.
  • Coat hangers
  • Bedding, including duvet and pillows - if it comes to it, though, you can rent it from the Uni.
  • Fancy dress!Quite easy - your pyjamas!
  • Food for a week - there's a supermarket on campus, but it'll bankrupt you. But don't worry, if you run out there will be trips to other supermarkets in the area, see the schedule for details
  • Anything else you can't live without.
  • Cash - the cash machines on campus run out within a couple of hours of the start of Freshers Week. They'll be restocked, but it's good to be prepared.
  • Many passport sized photos. 7 or 8. Everyone wants your picture - departments, colleges, NUS, everyone. If you can't get them beforehand, there's a machine by the Student Centre.
  • LEA funding/Student Loans Company letters. It should go straight into your bank account, but any problems you find will require these to solve.
