February 22, 2025Moving into your student accommodation, which often means leaving home for the first time, is a big moment. It can also be chaotic, with lots of different things to remember. It helps to plan ahead and take steps to make things a little easier.
Check with your student accommodation
They may contact you with the relevant information, but you should also check their website. For instance, some student properties Exeter can be viewed at www.exeteruniversityaccommodation.co.uk/student-flats-exeter. Your student accommodation provider will know what items and services are provided at your property and what you will need to bring yourself.
Create a checklist
Having so much to do can seem overwhelming. A checklist allows you to break things down into manageable chunks, prioritise the most important things, and ensure nothing is forgotten.
Prioritise when packing and unpacking
Packing means labelling boxes properly, ensuring they are light enough to carry, and leaving important items accessible. If you unpack nothing else on your first day, make sure you have your bedding and pyjamas, so if you come home late and tired from attending parties or meeting people, you do not have to worry about making your bed.
Medication
Make sure you have any medication you need in an adequate amount to last until you can either register with a new doctor or return home to your regular GP. Ensure it is packed somewhere accessible. Check your vaccinations too.
Arrive early
This is not just about trying to avoid the busiest part of the day. If you arrive and unpack early, then you can say your goodbyes to your family and start settling into university life much more quickly.
Start introducing yourself to your flatmates/housemates
If you are going to be spending a lot of time in close quarters with your flatmates, particularly if you are sharing kitchen and bathroom facilities, you want to establish cordial relations early.
With proper planning, you can reduce some of the stress and confusion of moving into your student accommodation, and instead start preparing yourself to enjoy student life.
