Why do you need a Uni Starter Pack?

You're done with your applications, visa, and loan and feel relaxed, right? Well, that's not it! You need to plan your move, get a list of essentials you will need, book student accommodation, figure out shipping your luggage, and many other things.

University Starter Pack 

Packing can be stressful and time-consuming, but you've got to do it. It may be overwhelming, and there may be a chance of you forgetting to pack your essentials, but don't let this feeling get to you as you fill for your study abroad journey. 

A Uni starter pack includes everything you need to survive at your university accommodation while saving you a few bucks. First things first, you will need a uni essentials list with things you need to buy, apart from your packing list. This list should include all your essentials: 

• Kitchen utensils and cookware 
• Homeware - cushion covers, bedding, mattress
• Necessities of your choice according to your lifestyle. 

And why is getting a uni starter pack before your move a good idea? Now, that is precisely what you'll understand at the end of this blog.

University Starter Packs For You

Starter packs are available in pre-made combos or customisable packages so that you can pick and choose every item. There are many variations in them, bedroom kit, bathroom kit, etc., but to broadly categorise it, there are two types of starter packs:

Complete Essential Kits: 

In these uni starter packs, you’ll find all the basic kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom essentials which will be provided according to our partner. Every partner has their types and variations of such kits. For example, Noah delivers a luxe kit with a list of pre-added items, so you do not need to spend time customising it. 

Customised Kits: 

You can customize the products in these uni starter packs completely. You will find individual products that you can mix and match according to your needs.  

Product - Specific Kits

You can get specific kits for specific uses, for example - academic starter packs including items like notebooks, pens, highlighters, planners, and sticky notes; health and wellness packs including items like first aid kits, health supplements, stress-relief items (like stress balls or essential oils), and access to mental health apps or counselling services.

While most halls of residences are equipped with kitchen appliances and furniture, there are often restrictions on the use of certain items. These sometimes include candles and posters/wall art. 

• Keep stock of your essentials

Keeping stock of essential toiletries and critical medical supplies in your uni checklist is always wise! While you can purchase most of these items locally, including them in your luggage is practical because you may never know when the need for these will arise.
