Why do you need a student starter pack?
Uni Starter before your Main Course!

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:

Move in, Settle in, and start learning!

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.

What Comes In A Uni Starter Pack 

Your uni starter pack can be pre-packed, completely customised, or a combination of both, where you can add extra items to a pre-packed kit. So, let’s find out the common types of uni starter packs available. Here’s what comes in a uni starter pack based on which pack you choose: 

Bedroom Starter Pack

Imagine reaching a new country and sleeping on a makeshift bed after such a long journey. With a bedroom starter pack, you don’t have to worry about it since a basic bedroom starter kit comes with everything you need. In a typical basic pack, you will get the following: 

  • Bedding 
  • Duvet covers 
  • Lie-ins 
  • Pillow
  • Linens, etc. 

You can add items like woollen blankets, washable blankets, throw blankets, cushions, room accessories, laundry kits, and much more to the basic pack, according to your needs and budget. 

Bathroom Starter Pack 

After a long day, feeling fresh can be easier with a carefully curated bathroom starter pack in handy. A basic bathroom pack comes with the following: 

  • Bathrobe 
  • Towel 
  • Hand towel 
  • Face towel  
  • Shampoo 
  • Conditioner 
  • Bodywash or shower gel 
  • Hand and body lotion
  • Premium soap 

Again, a bathroom kit can be customized to suit your needs with a dental kit, a bath mat, a student survival kit that contains daily essentials like deodorants, wet tissues, etc. 

Kitchen Starter Pack 

Setting up a kitchen with everything you need can be chaotic since there’s much to curate and collect.

To eradicate this hassle in students’ lives, here’s what a kitchen starter pack comes with: 

  • Crockery (mugs/cups, bowls, plates)
  • Pots and pans 
  • Kitchen accessories (baking gloves, kitchen towels, etc.) 
  • Kitchen equipment (scraper, botter opener, knives, scissors, etc.) 
  • Utensils (spatula, ladle, baking tray, etc.) 
  • Cutlery 
  • Storage (containers and bottles) 

Kitchen starter packs can be easily customised with additional kits like cleaning supplies kits, food cupboard starter kits, baking kits, coffee pod machine kits, etc. 

University Starter Pack 

Classes are starting soon, and you haven’t gotten your university essentials? A university starter pack can make things easier for you. Here’s what a basic pack may look like: 

  • Notebooks 
  • Pens 
  • Pencils 
  • Geometry equipment 
  • Highlighters 
  • Sticky notes
  • Sticky tape 
  • Stationary pouch 

5 Reasons To Get A Uni Starter Pack

You're already so taken up with a load of moving that you usually need to remember the essentials, which can later cost you a fortune and your time. With that in mind, we can make your trips to the stores and putting up a list easier! Not just that, but many other benefits come with ordering a uni starter pack beforehand.

Customised Uni Starter Pack

One of the best parts of getting a uni starter pack is you can customise it according to your needs. Our partners will provide you with the option of personalising your uni starter pack. For instance, our partner, Noah, allows you to customise your whole kit. You can add essentials like bathroom kits, kitchen items, bedroom kits, etc., and customise your full uni starter pack.

One-Stop Shop for Your Uni Essentials

You've just reached and have to go around stores to look for all your essentials to make your student accommodation 'liveable.' It's much easier to find your things in one package the day you arrive. We aim to simplify your transition and provide a one-stop shop for all your uni essentials.

Get your Uni Starter Pack on your Doorstep

Imagine landing in your host nation and finding your student accommodation empty. The stress of getting out and looking for stores is a hassle. But what if you can get your uni starter packs on your doorstep when you reach your destination? It can save you a lot of time, energy, and money! Our partners will ensure you get your uni starter pack at your doorstep to make settling down hassle-free. Because then, you need not worry about all the packing tips and tricks to fit them in your luggage!

You also don't have to shop to find a reasonable price or even pay a fortune when you can get all your student accommodation essentials within your budget and with ease.

Good Quality Products

Our partners ensure you have premium quality products in your uni starter pack. We believe in providing both quantity and quality at a very budgeted price. More importantly, the materials and products are made according to industry standards and guarantee remarkable quality.

A uni starter pack is undoubtedly a very rational choice. At the same time, amber+ provides you with various other services like student load, airport pickups, luggage shipping, overseas e-sim, and many more. Having a sense of relief because you know you don’t have to worry about missing out on essentials. And getting a uni starter pack can make it happen!

Things to Remember

  • Check for items that may be a fire hazard:

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.

Uni starter packs are an extremely convenient choice for students, given the hassle that goes into packing and shifting into new student accommodation. There are many uni starter pack providers that have a large variety of options for students to choose from, with delivery included. Uni starter packs prove to be a hassle-free solution for students who need to buy new items related to their new lives at university. 

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to place an order?

You can place your order once you have an address and your flight is booked. Accordingly, schedule your delivery on the same date as your arrival. Order your student starter pack at least 3-6 days prior.

How to track my student starter kit?

Most of our partners have a live booking ID through which you can track your package.

What is the return policy?

Most of our partners provide a return policy within a specific period, provided the products are in original packaging and are in good condition.

What if my flight gets cancelled or, for any other reason, I cannot reach before the delivery date?

Here, amber+ can come to your savings. All student starter kits are sent on a signed for service. In this case, someone has to sign on your behalf to receive your package. So, if amber is your accommodation provider, we'll sign and accept the package on your behalf.

Are these student starter kits delivered worldwide?

Most of our partners provide delivery at all the top study destinations. Kindly check the respective partner websites to check if it's deliverable in your desired location.
