What to Take to University: Housekeeping

When you begin university you will become responsible for most of your own cleaning and tidying. The items listed here should give you a general idea of the sorts of things you will need to purchase to keep yourself and your belongings presentable. Beyond a couple of items, most of the stuff here can be bought from your local supermarket.

If you are catered and all your food is provided (i.e. you don't need to cook) then you should only need the items from the "Catered" section and possibly the "En-Suite" section (if you have your own bathroom). If you must prepare your own meals then you will need everything from the "Catered" and "Non-Catered" sections, and again the "En-Suite" section if you have your own bathroom.
