    Smart Packing Tips for Edge Hill University Freshers

    Sam AllcockBy Sam Allcock07/08/2024Updated:07/08/2024

    Starting university and moving into student accommodation can be both thrilling and overwhelming for newcomers. This transition signifies independence, learning, and the chance to meet people from all over. However, packing wisely is crucial, especially with typically tight spaces in student rooms. Here’s how to ensure you bring everything you need without cluttering your new home at Edge Hill University.

    Bedroom Essentials

    Your bedroom is more than just a sleeping area; it’s your personal retreat. Begin with quality bedding, including a comfortable duvet, pillows, sheets, and a mattress protector. Depending on your accommodation, you might have built-in storage. If not, consider under-bed storage boxes for shoes or extra supplies and a hanging organiser for your wardrobe to keep clothes sorted. To personalise your space, add some string lights, a soft rug, and a reading lamp to make it feel more like home.

    Kitchen Must-Haves

    Equipping your kitchen starts with the basics: pots, pans, plates, cutlery, mugs, and glasses. Tupperware containers are handy for leftovers. Personal storage solutions, like labelled containers, help keep your food separate in shared fridges. While most student accommodations provide major appliances such as a fridge, freezer, kettle, toaster, and microwave, having small appliances like a rice cooker or blender can be beneficial for quick meals and smoothies.

    Bathroom Necessities

    Whether you have an en-suite or share facilities, having your own toiletries is essential. Stock up on towels, a flannel, and a comfortable bathrobe for trips to the bathroom. For tight spaces, consider over-the-door hooks and shower caddies to keep essentials organised and accessible.

    Study Supplies

    Your study area is crucial for success, so set it up thoughtfully. Desk organisation tools like pen holders and file organisers will keep your workspace tidy. A sturdy desk lamp is necessary for late-night study sessions. Ensure you have your laptop, chargers, headphones, and an extension cord to manage electronic devices efficiently. Also, gather stationery items such as notebooks, pens, highlighters, and sticky notes.

    Personal Items

    Given the UK’s varied weather, pack clothes for all seasons but avoid bringing your entire wardrobe. Opt for versatile, layerable items. A laundry basket is crucial for handling your dirty laundry. Stick to fire-safe decor like LED lights, framed photos, posters, and plants, as student accommodations often have strict fire safety rules. Consider including a hairdryer, straighteners, and other personal items like a first aid kit and necessary medications. Purchase items like laundry detergent after moving in to avoid adding unnecessary weight to your luggage.

    Utilising Self-Storage

    Limited space in student rooms makes self-storage a valuable option. Local self-storage units can ease the burden of transporting items back home during term breaks or over the summer. These facilities offer security and easy access, making it convenient to store seasonal clothing, sports equipment, and extra furniture when not needed.

    Packing for university in Ormskirk requires careful planning and organisation, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Focus on the essentials, plan your space efficiently, and use self-storage to keep your accommodation uncluttered. With thoughtful packing and strategic use of space, you’ll be ready to start your university journey with ease.
