You think you’ve packed everything until...
Bedding? Check. Towels? Check. Enough pasta to feed your entire halls? Probably. But some of the best Freshers essentials are the things you don't realise you need until uni actually starts.
From boiling halls rooms and packed Freshers events to movie-night dates and questionable decisions made at Freshers Fair, here are the uni essentials you'll actually be glad you brought.
Halls Get Hot. Be Prepared.
Nobody prepares you for the temperature of university halls. Your room will either feel like the Arctic or approximately 400 degrees - there is no in-between.
The Ultrathin Portable Desktop Fan is one of those uni room essentials you'll appreciate when your bedroom refuses to cool down. Keep it next to your bed, pop it on your desk while studying or use it while five people are getting ready for a night out in one tiny room.
A desk fan might not sound like the most exciting thing you're taking to uni. Give it a week.
Freshers Gets Hot Too.
Packed student bars, clubs, festivals, gym sessions and power walking across campus because you're late again - Freshers Week gets warm.
Keep the High-Speed Compact Cooling Plate Fan or Portable High-Speed Turbo Fan in your bag for an easy way to cool down while you're out. They're ideal for nights out, the gym, festivals, travelling and warm lecture halls.
Plus, pull a fan out in the middle of a packed student bar and suddenly everyone wants to be your friend.
Keep Your Uni Smile Fresh.
Early lectures, coffee-fuelled library sessions, nights out and the classic movie-night date – keeping your oral-care routine together is one small win amongst the chaos.
Especially when you've got the film on, the popcorn is out and suddenly there's a kernel stuck between your teeth. Cute.
The EasyClean Travel Water Flosser helps clean between teeth and tackle bits of food brushing can miss. It's compact too, making it easy to take home for the weekend, to another uni or wherever student life takes you.
Your sleep schedule might be gone, but at least your teeth can have their life together.
Joined a Society? Good Luck.
Freshers Fair is dangerous. You go in for a “quick look” and somehow leave signed up to football, netball, running club and a sport you'd never heard of until five minutes ago.
Then comes the first training session.
The Ultra-Mini Portable Massage Gun and Handheld Portable Massage Gun are easy uni gym essentials for massaging tired muscles and winding down after training, the gym or an active day. Plus, they're portable enough to throw into your training bag.
You might have joined for the socials, but unfortunately, sometimes they do expect you to actually do the sport.
