Student essentials & uni must-haves at Victoria Centre Article

Congratulations! Your journey to University will begin with a brand-new adventure. Wherever you decide to attend school, moving into halls will likely be your first experience living away from home, so the idea of "packing up your life" can be both frightening and exhilarating.

We've put together a list of must-have goods to get you organised, some more crucial than others, all chosen to make relocating to university as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Student housing sometimes feels more like a home away from home thanks to the small stuff from home, the ornaments and trinkets, in addition to the normal checklist of study necessities, cooking equipment, and tech essentials.

If you are returning back to Uni this can also be useful as we know how many items go missing throughout the year.
