What is needed for student accommodation?

It’s worth mentioning that it isn’t always necessary to buy all the kitchen items yourself if you’re staying within a share flat. That way you don’t end up with 5 kettles and no space for everyone’s pots and pans. You can chat amongst yourself when you all arrive or join our Facebook group for yourself and speak with your future flatmates and plan who’s bringing what.
