What to bring to Halls?

Written By james Wilkinson

Kia Ora, after moving into the halls, it was a hassle for me. I kept discovering things I needed to help with my day-to-day living and studying. I’ve decided to write a little list of items that you’ll need to bring. UniRoom sells most of these essentials, so check out our essentials package at uniroomnz.com/store/p/the-essentials-box

Extra tricks and tips at the bottom!

Bedroom Essentials

  • Duvet and duvet cover

  • Pillows and pillowcases

  • Lamp

Bathroom and Laundry Basics

  • Towels (bath, hand, and face cloth)

  • Shower caddy

  • Shower shoes or jandals

  • Toothbrush and toothpaste

Little Tips and Tricks

  • If you're out of hooks, dry your towels on a clothes hanger.

  • Get some Cold and Flu; you’ll most likely get sick after O-Week.

  • Get all your decorations sorted straight away; you’ll be too busy or too far into the year to buy decorations.

  • Leave your door open in week 1; a great way to make friends!
