Packing for Uni
Posted on 03 September 2019
Off to Uni over the next few weeks? Whether you’re starting off as a fresher in your first year or going back for another year of fun, we bet you’re absolutely buzzing!
Our Guide to packing for Uni
With only a couple of weeks until Uni starts, you’re probably in the midst of your Uni shop. Whether you’ve packed too much, haven’t packed enough or possibly haven’t started packing yet at all, we thought we’d give you a hand to get you prepped for the year ahead.
TOP TIP: Before you begin the big pack make sure you check out your Uni’s website to see what items they already provide for you if you’re staying in halls.
Your crib
Make your Uni bedroom your own with décor. Give your room a personal touch with posters and photos of mates back home, and make it the perfect place to cure your hangover with comfy pillows and fairy lights.
Remember your laptop, headphones, stationery and books for studying. Be sure to hit the lib with a stylish backpack to carry all your books and laptop.

You might also want a good set of speakers for pre-drinks and most importantly, don’t forget your ID!
The kitchen
Plates, bowls, cutlery, mugs, chopping boards, saucepans, frying pans, baking trays and other utensils are obvious essentials. Go for kitchen utensils in a bright colour or bold pattern to make sure your stuff stands out from the masses of plates that are sure to pile up in the kitchen sink.
Remember to also bring tea towels, tin foil and a couple of Tupperware for meal prep! You’ll also be needing oven gloves and a pizza cutter to aid your 3 am feast after a night out.
Tea bags and coffees are v important too to make sure you stay awake through the dreaded 9 am lectures.

TOP TIP: Pack light!! You’re not moving forever so prioritise the absolute essentials and be sure to pack the freshest looks from your wardrobe.
