Things To Bring Along To Campus As A Fresher by Dapromzy333(m): 12:15pm On Dec 27, 2016
I am here once again to inform freshers on things to get before resuming for school in order to ease stress.

Remember there's no need to go out and buy every item listed here. Often universities provide some of these things, so check what's on offer before you start shopping.
....
....
You can often team up with flat mates on things like kettles, toasters, pots and pans. Whatever happens, there's likely to be shops selling all these things when you get there, so if you do forget something vital it shouldn't be too difficult to replace.

Depending on the standard of your school and what is obtainable there, below are the list of things you should come to campus with as a fresher;

1. Documents

-Passport photos
-Passport or driving licence
-NHS number
-National Insurance number
-TV Licence
-CV and references
-Discount travel cards
-Bank account details
-Address book and email contacts list
-Local map
-What's on guide
-Old textbooks and notes
-List of phone numbers
-Support notification form
-Diary or calendar
-Doctor and dentist details
-Other university documents
-Exam certificates
-Room insurance

2. Kitchen
A lot of the kitchen stuff will depend if you're going self catering or not.

-Cutlery
-Corkscrew
-Bottle opener
-Mugs
-Glasses
-Wine glasses
-Shot glasses
-Kettle
-Knives, forks and spoons
-Plates
-Bowls (for cereal, soup, ice cream, etc)
-One-person casserole dish
Small frying or omelette pan
1 small, 1 large saucepan with lids
-Egg cup
-Tin opener
-Scissors
-Chopping knife
-Chopping board - An extra chopping board if you are cutting meat: this way you avoid food poisoning!!!
-Vegetable peeler
-Cheese grater - (ho for one that has the grater as a lid so all the cheese goes into a box/compartment neatly and you can leave it in there to store as well )
-Bread-knife
-Wooden spoon
-Spatula - good for a washing up implement.
-Potato Masher (only if you are a fan of mash tho!)
-Easy to follow recipe book
-Store cupboard ingredients - coffee, tea, milk, sugar, eggs, margarine, cooking oil, salt and pepper - and let's not forget pasta
-Coffee whitener - for when you run out of milk
-Sandwich bags - good for lots of stuff you open and need to contain. e.g. sugar / teabags and things
-Plastic bowl or box with lid
-Microwaveable bowl
-Cling film
-Tin foil
-Sieve
-Tea towels
-Oven gloves
-Washing-up stuff - Washing-up liquid / -Dishcloth / Scrubbing brush
-Tray - For carrying food to your room and to stop you making a mess if you're not eating at a table
-Chopsticks

3. STUDYING

-Desk lamp (Halogen)
-BOOK CHAIR - saves a lot of neck strain if you are making notes out of a big book]
-NOTICE BOARD - for timetables, numbers, etc. Some halls may already provide one.
Message board with erasable marker eg. a mini white board or one of those magnetic sand ones that you can wipe
-DIARY/PLANNERS - to keep track of assignments.
-Dictionary and thesaurus
-A pad of lined paper - for making notes/doing drafts etc

-A4 folders
-Pens, pencils, paper, files, highlighters

6. Bathroom

-Bath mat

-Calculator - for sorting out finances
-Computer and/or laptop - saves on queues at deadline time

-Network cable - to access the internet from the socket in your room
-Mini fridge - for beer and other items you don't want in the communal fridge
-Bedside lamp
-Mobile and charger
-Answering machine
-CD player/Hi-fi system - though better (certainly space wise) just to bring speakers and use your computer

-Camera - to take pictures of room and friends (to send home/put on website ... everything else people do with photos)
-Headphones - so you don't disturb others when you play music loud. You can get 'infra-red' ones that aren't too expensive and allow you to walk around while still listening to the music.

Teddy bear/stuffed toys
