You may wish to bring items to University to make your room and flat more like home

You will need

Some things you will only need one per flat, so do not buy them specially as you may end up with multiples of everything. If you have them already, they may be worth bringing.

When you arrive you can always shop with your housemates and each person buy one of items you need (which will be useful during your University studies and beyond)

• Kettle (provided at Royal Park)
