What to take to university - the ultimate checklist
Unsure on what to bring to university? We've got you covered with this ultimate check list.
So you may now be thinking, what do I need to take to uni? Well, our uni packing list can help. We鈥檝e pulled out some key essentials that you don鈥檛 want to miss.
Important documents
This includes your driver's license or passport (you鈥檒l need some ID to get into various places!), plus your student finance, admission and accommodation documents. Find out a full list of documents you鈥檒l need in our Ultimate Packing Checklist.
Home comforts
This is what makes your new room feel like home. It could be photos of family and friends, your favourite blanket or cushions or posters for your wall. Looking for ideas? Check out our guide to making your room your own, with help from IKEA, here.
Only your favourite clothes
Pick what you鈥檙e actually going to wear! And make sure it includes a range of clothes that you鈥檒l use, like gym wear (if you鈥檙e a gym-goer), comfy clothes for those inevitable hungover Netflix binges, and a few nice pieces for all the nights out you鈥檒l be enjoying. Remember you don鈥檛 need to bring your whole wardrobe though, as no doubt you鈥檒l be enjoying the shops on offer around Brum too.
Stationery
If you manage to get through Uni without picking up a pen, you鈥檒l be doing well (or missing the point completely, depending on how you look at it). Pens, a notepad, highlighters and more can be super useful for making notes in lectures, picking out the important bits of articles, or ultimately, revising for exams.聽
Chargers
So commonly forgotten! Make sure you鈥檝e ticked off chargers for anything electrical 鈥� whether it鈥檚 a phone, laptop, electric toothbrush, wireless speaker鈥�. It might also be worth investing in a portable charger for days when you鈥檙e on the go all day.
