Find a room

What do I need to bring to my university accommodation?

  • Your passport, passport-sized photos, ID and visa. You’ll need these to enrol with your university, join societies, and get a part-time job (if you want one).
  • Bedding.
  • Kitchen utensils.
  • Don’t forget that you can order Bedding, Kitchen, Bathroom Kits and more from our partners at UniKitOut all delivered directly to your home and waiting for you upon arrival. Plus, save 10% with discount code HELLO10
  • Decorations and personal things that make your room feel like home.
  • Clothes of all types – from lounging around, to going to lectures, to nights out, to formal balls. Oh, and coat hangers.
  • If you’re bringing electrical items, bring extension leads, and a UK plug converter too.
  • Bike, helmet, bicycle repair kit. A bike’s a cheap, environmentally friendly way to get around your new city. We have free bike storage at almost all our buildings, too.
  • A first aid kit – plasters, sterile dressings, that kind of thing. Just in case.
  • Oh, and don’t forget your books and stationery
