Hey guys ^^
As part of my uni tips series, I thought I'd share my packing list for last year!
I think I managed to not underpack or overpack, and it might be a helpful starting point for any of y'all going to start uni next year! Don't forget, it might be easier to buy some of this stuff, such as cleaning supplies and food, when you've arrived. Also if you can, contact your new flatmates to see if you can share stuff such as pans.

  1. Making a packing list is very important before you going for the holidays. For different items , we need various packaging materials like bubble wrap, packaging tapes, fragile packing tape, paper carrier bags any many more.
