What to bring to uni
With term fast approaching, I’m sure your thoughts are turning to “what to bring to uni??” You can’t bring the world with you (unfortunately) so be selective in your choices. Besides the necessities such as clothes and bed linen, bringing the right things with you can make for a great conversation starter and really help you ease in to uni life. To help you with your choices, we asked some of our DIGS staff and tenants “what one thing couldn’t you live without at uni???”
“When I went off to university for the first time, I took lots of photos of my family and friends from back home. I stuck these all over the notice board in my room which helped make it feel more like my place. When any of my new friends from uni came to visit me it would be a good talking point and helped people get to know me better. I gradually started sticking new pictures up from nights out at uni which soon made me realise what fun I was having and how much I had fitted in.”

“I would recommend taking a deck of cards- brilliant for entertainment when your loan is running out and you can’t afford to go out and can be used for great drinking games too!”

“Something unique to your hometown- like Henderson’s relish or a recipe for a local dish. This especially works if you are an International student as you can give your new flatmates a taste of your culture from back home.”

“One of the things that is so great about uni life is that you can completely reinvent yourself- so I would definitely bring my gym stuff with me so I can get fit! The Hilton gym opposite the Pinnacles has loads of students in it so is also a good way to meet people too”
