Recipe book - there are some great student recipes you can get for quick easy meals!
Lots of snacks - going to university without biscuits is like going to Barbados without a sunhat!
Student Bedroom Musts
Duvet and pillows - opt for a higher tog duvet for example, 13.5/15 tog – you’ll thank us later for the tip on those long winter nights!

University top tip: if you are a new university student, register with a Leicester doctor’s surgery early as soon as possible. This will save you having to wait for hours at a drop-in centre filling out forms.
Don’t panic if you forget anything after you set off to University there’s plenty of shops to buy bits! If you're a lucky student who’s staying at our property Lillie House or Abode London Road then you’re less than a 30 second walk from Tesco Express!
