We recommend bringing the bare minimum when you first arrive, that way you and your new roommates can work out who buys what to avoid doubling up on certain items. Below is a list of the essentials you will need:
- A photocopy of your ID, such as your passport or driver's license to assist in your check in
- Bedding / linen including a pillow
- Towels and tea towels
- Food and household supplies
- Cooking equipment, crockery, cutlery, glasses, cooking utensils etc
- Laundry supplies
- Toasters, irons, ironing boards etc., although some residents wait until meeting their roommates on arrival to share the costs of small appliances
