Don't forget your documents
Make sure you’ve got any documentation you might need when you’re away from home – it's a good idea to take a photo of it so you've also got a record on your phone.
This might include:
- Passport/driving licence/ID card
- Insurance
- Bursary/finance letters
- Passport photos – always useful
- Bank cards and discount cards
- And don’t forget to bring any medication - prescription copies
Accommodation: what you need to make a happy and well-equipped home
If you're staying in student accommodation, it will be furnished, so you don’t need to buy large furniture items for your room. However, you will need to provide your own bedding, kitchen utensils, toiletries and cleaning products.
If you’re staying in rented private accommodation, then check with your landlord or agent for more information on what is provided.
