[hsc=suicide]

im moving away from home (hopefully) into a residential college, whats a list of things i should take, and anything important that you may have forgotten or i shouldnt forget to take?

This thread might be under the UNE subforums, but since most people there live in colleges, just about everythig you'll need can be found in it. Probably got a few things you wouldn't think of in it as well.

I know this is for UNE but it still may have some ideas

I'm in the same situation as you. Since I used to be at boarding school, you should basically take the following items;

- Toiletries (I never liked borrowing other people's toothpaste or using the soap that everyone else uses in the showers)
- Clothes (Obviously)
- A computer if you have one
- An alarm clock to wake you up on time (since you're at uni, its likely you can only rely on yourself to get up when you need to)
- A safe, I've learnt from experience not to trust anyone else with my property
- Money (no brainer)
- Posters/Pictures to decorate your room
- Stationery (pens, rulers, all that crap..)
- A basket for dirty clothes (its easier when your clothes are in one area of the room instead of thrown all over the place)
- A tv with game console if you feel like it (Not sure whether I should bring my Ps2, I'll decide once I get into my residential college)
- A few cardboard boxes (sometimes, you may need to pack your stuff away in the holidays if other people will be using your room in your absence)
- Books/Cds/Anything else you may want with you at uni to make yourself more comfortable

OPTIONAL:
- A desklamp and a leather chair (I had both of these back at boarding school and they made my study hours much more comfortable. It doesnt matter with these 2 items as I'm assuming you'll have enough lighting and a chair provided for you at your college)

At this point, you're just abusing sarcasm.

...beg pardon?

Also, remember to get your stuff electro-tagged. Most electricians do it; colleges like to know that whatever you're bringing up are safe and won't set fire to the place.

...beg pardon?

Sorry, my mistake. Everything I see a non-UNE student make a post about the uni, it's usually dripping with sarcasm and contempt. Now I just assume that everyone does it.

ive just cleaned up my clothes.....lol i found ones from like 6 years ago in my cupboard. all meals are provided. i did think of taking a lamp. linen is provided, but i dont think i could stand theirs. my BIGGEST problem is the fact that im moving from the north coast of nsw, to melbourne, and i cant fit in a sigle bed as im too tall. ><.

Welcome to my world. I wouldn't be too concerned about this because If I can manage to fit my 6'3 frame into a single bed, then you can too. (unless you're taller than me...)

Yeah I just remember seeing that thread and thought it was pretty applicable.

Some colleges - like mine, though I can't speak for any others - often let residents have a larger bed if they're over a certain height. I get one because I spent the first semester of last year sleeping with my ankles over the end of the matress.
