You will need a form of photo ID (passport or a driving licence), along with proof of your student status (student ID or an offer/acceptance letter from your university), your student number and a credit/debit card to pay your advance rent.

Pack anything that will make your new home feel just like your old home. They include a mattress but you’ll need to bring your favourite bedding as well as pillows and a duvet. Many students include familiar photos in their packing to help them settle in and personalise their rooms. If you’re moving into a cluster we recommend waiting until you’ve met all your flatmates and then shopping together for items such as cutlery, crockery and other household bits and bobs.
