Anxious about the big move?

Here are some tips to help you.

Excited about moving but unsure about what to pack? Your first thought may be to bring EVERYTHING with you. Don’t. Just pack the essentials below and bring the rest on your next trip.

Or you could save some money and share items with your future flatmates. Connect with them even before you arrive on Facebook for Archer House, Castle Gate Haus,  MSV, MSV South, The Grafton, Cathedral Campus, Hotwells House, Weston Court and Garth Heads.

Here’s a list to help you get started.

Bedroom

Make it your own space with colourful cushions and pictures of home. Remember to bring your own:

  • Bedsheets
  • Duvet and duvet cover
  • Pillows and pillowcases

Kitchen

We provide the essential appliances (kettle, toaster and microwave), so you don’t have to lug them from home. Just bring your own:

  • Plates, bowls, mugs, glasses and pans
  • Cutlery and utensils (tin/bottle opener, etc.)
  • Tea towels and oven gloves
  • Washing up liquid, dish cloth and scrubbing brush

Bathroom

Some things you just can’t share, like your personal care items. So remember to pack:

  • Bath and hand towels
  • A basket for your shower things
  • Toilet roll (replenish often)
  • Toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash
  • Soaps, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, etc.

Study Table

We provide a desk in every room so you can study whenevr you want to. Bring your own:

  • Laptop
  • Desk lamp
  • Stationery (pens, pencils, staplers, post-it notes, etc.)
  • Notepads and A4 paper for printing
  • Folders to file your work away

Housekeeping

You probably don’t do any of it at home, but if you want a clean room, here’s what you have to bring with you:

  • Laundry bag
  • Laundry detergent
  • Clothes rack to dry your smalls
  • Cleaning products for the flat
  • Vacuum cleaner (Or you could hire one from the reception if available)
Check and double check your list, so you arrive prepared with everything you need.
